Semolina porridge with berry sauce is a delicious and comforting breakfast or dessert option. Here's a recipe for a creamy semolina porridge topped with a sweet berry sauce:
Semolina Porridge:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 2 cups milk (or a mix of milk and water for a lighter texture)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
Berry Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- 1 tablespoon water or a splash of fruit juice (if needed)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Berry Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice (if using).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or fruit juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and set aside. You can mash the berries with a spoon or use a blender if you prefer a smoother sauce.

Prepare the Semolina Porridge:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

- If using, stir in the vanilla extract and butter for extra flavor and creaminess.
-
Serve:
- Spoon the warm semolina porridge into bowls.
- Top with a generous amount of berry sauce.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
