Semolina porridge with hazelnuts, dark chocolate, and cranberry-pomegranate sauce is a refined combination of rich flavor and delicate texture. The dish's origins lie in author cuisine, where traditional semolina porridge gains a new dimension through nut paste and spicy seasonings. Hazelnuts add a pleasant crunch, while melted dark chocolate provides depth of flavor. The cranberry-pomegranate sauce with honey and orange accents adds a special note, creating a balance of sweetness and tartness. This dish is perfect for cozy breakfasts, warming winter evenings, or even festive desserts.

For the sauce, combine freshly squeezed orange and pomegranate juices in a pot, add sugar, honey, orange zest without membranes, and cranberries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cranberries soften. Remove from heat, strain through a sieve for a smooth sauce or leave as is with the berries. Cool and transfer to an airtight jar for storage.
