👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Toast the semolina in a dry skillet over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring, until it's nutty brown and smells toasted.
    ⚙ Dry-Pan ToastingStoveFrying pan
    💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.
  2. 2
    Remove from the heat, add the olive oil and stir.
  3. 3
    Add the date syrup, sesame seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, anise and salt and mix well into a crumbly, moist mixture.
  4. 4
    Serve at room temperature.
