Egyptian Date and Nut Harissa: A Sweet Semolina Delight
Discover the heartwarming flavors of this traditional Egyptian dessert, a delightful blend of sweet dates, crunchy nuts, and tender semolina. It's a perfect, family-friendly treat to enjoy after dinner or alongside a cup of tea.
Let's cook.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the fine semolina, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
Add the melted unsalted butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, forming a thick batter.
Gently fold in the finely chopped pitted dates, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
