Semolina casserole with walnuts and raisins

8 servings

60 minutes

Semolina casserole with walnuts and raisins is a cozy and delicate dish from Russian cuisine, rooted in the traditions of village baking. Semolina gives the casserole lightness and softness, while walnuts add crunch and richness of flavor. Raisins bring a light sweetness that harmonizes with vanilla sugar and fragrant lemon zest. This treat is perfect for breakfast or a cozy tea time with family. During baking, the casserole develops a golden crust, while its tender texture makes it especially pleasant to taste. Sprinkled with powdered sugar, it becomes not only appetizing but also elegant in appearance. Served warm, it can be complemented with fresh berries or sour cream for an even richer gastronomic experience.
