I think that it is well known that I love to cook and try often new things. I am always interested in recipes from different parts of the world. But some times it is nice to look a little bit closer to home.
Some days ago I was doing in the local supermarket and there I saw “Griesmeelpudding” (Semolina pudding). I realized that it was really long ago that I ate this, so I decided to buy it.
That day after dinner, I had it as dessert. It didn’t taste bad, but it wasn’t what I expected. Most of all, it was way too sweet. I suspect that they added a lot of sugar or anything alike to it.
“Griesmeelpudding” shouldn’t be really sweet.
So I decided to try to make it myself. I asked Miranda for a much as possible authenticate Dutch recipe. It didn’t take her long to send it to me.
The recipe will use the next ingredients: 2 eggs (white and yolk separated), a vanilla pod, milk, whipped cream, sugar and semolina.
For the sauce red berries, jam sugar and water.
If you would like the recipe I can share, but most likely I have to translate it first.
And this tasted as I could remember it and it should taste in my opinion.
I am convinced that other countries also have desserts as our “Griesmeelpudding”, but it is something already for a long time known in The Netherlands.
Very nice, Rob. You can see on the photo how light the pudding is and that is how it should be.
And you are right, Semolina desserts are known in many countries.
Griesmeel is not really my thing, but Richard likes it. So I may make it some time for him, Could you send me the recipe?
In your mailbox, Marissa.
