Sweet Semolina Patties with Raisins and Citrus

Take a trip back to childhood with this dish — simple, but so good. I remember these patties being served with fruit kissel back in preschool! I'm all grown up now, and today I felt like making semolina patties myself, both to revisit my own childhood and, of course, to bring my kids a little joy. Turns out they're really easy, so here goes...

Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients.
Step 2:

Put the milk on the stove — we're making a basic semolina porridge. Once the milk comes to a boil, pour in the semolina in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly.
Step 3:

Cook until it thickens — this happens fast.
Step 4:

Here's our semolina porridge — nice and very thick.
Step 5:

Add the sugar and a pinch of salt (I always include it). It's ideally added while cooking, but as I said, mine thickened so fast I just didn't get to it in time.
Step 6:

Add the vanilla, raisins, and tangerine zest.
Step 7:

Now add the egg and flour and mix well — a hand mixer works best here.
Step 8:

You'll end up with a smooth, even mixture.
Step 9:

With damp hands, shape the mixture into patties.
Step 10:

Coat them in breadcrumbs.
Step 11:

Melt a pat of butter in the skillet.
Step 12:

Fry the patties in the butter.
Step 13:

Do this over low heat with the lid on.
Step 14:

Fry until golden.
Step 15:

I served them with apricot jam — delicious.
Step 16:

Enjoy!

The kids loved these patties — turns out they don't serve them in preschool anymore! You can also serve them with fruit kissel, which is just as good. And to make them a bit lighter, coat them in shredded coconut and bake them in the oven instead. Give it a try!
