My sons look down on me. In the physical sense of course... although who knows what they're thinking. Perhaps the taller the wiser? Lets let life itself verify it;-) Still, both of them come to me sometimes asking to cook semolina for them. Seems easy enough. Yet what are the perfect proportions?
"Multicoloured semolina"
Semolina
- 1/2 litre milk
- 4.5 tbsp semolina
- a pinch of salt
- tsp butter
To colour:
- yolk
- red fruit juice
- cacao
Start heating the milk, put semolina stirring continuously to avoid clusters and salt lightly. When semolina starts getting thick add a table spoon of butter to give it velvety flavour.
Yellow: take off the heat and add yolk stirring energetically to avoid clusters.
Brown: add cocoa and stir
Pink: pour in some juice and stir.
Seems so easy yet so much fun. I fed all my small eater cousins with such mixtures. I was only praying they would not ask for blue;-)
