Warm Semolina Cereal with Goji Berries

How to Make Warm Semolina Cereal with Goji Berries Recipe - Semolina is a processed form of durum (hard) wheat and is commonly used in puddings and cooked cereals or mixed with egg to make pasta. It’s digested slowly and has a low glycemic index. Look for spelt semolina: It has a lovely nutty flavor.

SERVES: 2

PREPARATION: 10 MINUTES, COOKING: 10 MINUTES

Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups (400 ml) almond, soy or rice milk
4 tablespoons (60 ml) semolina (use spelt semolina, if available)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) dried goji berries
2 tablespoons (30 ml) slivered almonds
2 teaspoons (10 ml) honey
1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon (5 ml) raw sugar

Method:
1 Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring just to a boil over low heat, and slowly whisk in the semolina, stirring constantly. Add the goji berries, almonds, honey and half of the cinnamon.

2 Bring the cereal to a boil and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until thickened, stirring continuously. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for a few minutes.

3 Combine the remaining cinnamon with the sugar. Divide the semolina between two bowls. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and serve warm.

ANOTHER IDEA
+ If you prefer, this cereal can be prepared with low-fat milk or water. Simply add the semolina to the milk or water in a slow, steady stream and cook as in step 1.
