- Gather your ingredients. You can turn this dish into a dessert or a savory side for meat, chicken, or fish, using different add-ins depending on the flavor you want. Fried semolina can be made with water or milk, which changes the taste and calorie count. For a sweet version, add vanilla, cinnamon, dried fruit, or berries. Pour the measured amount of dry semolina into a dry skillet (cast iron or a heavy-bottomed pan works best). Toast it over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until it takes on a light golden color and a pleasant nutty aroma. Then add sugar (if you're making it sweet), salt, and pour in the water. You can use half water and half milk, or all milk. Stir, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. If you want it looser, add a bit more liquid. Turn off the heat, stir in the butter, and divide it among plates. Semolina is considered one of the healthier grains — it's rich in protein and, if you don't load it up with high-calorie extras, it's fairly low in calories, which is why it's often recommended for anyone watching their diet. For the most benefit, though, enjoy it without sugar, butter, or milk, and no more than twice a week. Semolina dishes are good for anyone dealing with chronic fatigue, since they help restore the body's energy balance. Semolina is rich in B vitamins, niacin, vitamin E, and minerals, so it works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
