Coconut semolina porridge with pineapple candied fruits is a delicate and exotic dish inspired by Russian cuisine but enriched with tropical notes. The semolina absorbs the aroma of coconut milk, gaining a silky texture, while lime zest and ground ginger add a light citrus freshness and spiciness. Pineapple candied fruits bring pleasant sweetness and fruity undertones, making each bite surprisingly rich. Topped with coconut flakes, this porridge becomes not just breakfast but a true gastronomic delight. Perfect for those who want to experience the blend of classic and exotic in one plate while enjoying morning warmth and coziness.
