Description

Creamy, comforting savory semolina porridge infused with ghee, topped with sautéed spinach and soft-boiled eggs. A quick, nourishing dish perfect for any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup semolina (fine)
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1½ tablespoons ghee
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add ghee and semolina, stirring continuously for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
  2. In another pot, warm the water or broth to a gentle simmer.
  3. Slowly pour the hot liquid into the roasted semolina while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add salt and pepper. Continue to stir for 3 to 4 minutes until creamy and thickened.
  4. In a separate pan, sauté the garlic (if using) in ghee or oil, then add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  5. Soft-boil the eggs (6 minutes), peel, and halve them.
  6. Spoon the porridge into bowls. Top with sautéed spinach and halved eggs. Drizzle with extra ghee if desired.
  7. Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra black pepper or chili flakes.

Notes

  • Use hot liquid to avoid lumps in the porridge.
  • Ghee adds a rich, nutty flavor — highly recommended.
  • Customize with different greens, spices, or even cheese.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat with a splash of water.
