Ingredients

Why metric?

Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements

  • 90 g fine semolina
  • 500 ml reduced-fat milk (515 g)
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced (200 g)
  • 18 g honey
  • 10 g unsalted butter
  • 1 g ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 g iodised table salt
  • 25 g almonds, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Cook the apple with the butter and cinnamon in a small pan over medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes, until it collapses when you press it.
  2. Bring the milk and salt to a bare simmer in a second pan.
  3. Pour the semolina in a thin stream with one hand while whisking with the other. Tipped in all at once it lumps, and the lumps do not whisk out.
  4. Cook 3-4 minutes, whisking, until it thickens enough to hold the mark of the whisk.
  5. Spoon into bowls, top with the apple and almonds and thread the honey over.

Safety and storage

Keeps
3 days refrigerated below 5°C
Reheat to
steaming hot, at least 75°C

Cool it fast: split large amounts into shallow containers as soon as it stops steaming, and have it in the fridge within two hours. Reheat once only, until steaming hot right through, at least 75°C in the centre.
