Ice cream and chilled desserts
A Saudi holiday-table dessert made by toasting fine vermicelli in butter until golden, then simmering it slowly in saffron milk with dates. It takes experience to toast the vermicelli without burning it; otherwise, the dessert can taste bitter. Chilled before serving, it is also a refreshing choice in summer.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the fine vermicelli, and toast, stirring constantly, until golden.
Add the milk, saffron, and granulated sugar. Simmer over low heat until the vermicelli is completely soft.
Add the chopped dates and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat when the mixture thickens.
Divide the dessert among bowls and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Sprinkle with chopped nuts to serve.
Stay by the stove while toasting the vermicelli; a few seconds of inattention can burn it and make it taste bitter. Allergen: contains gluten (vermicelli), dairy (milk and butter), and tree nuts (type unspecified).
Şehriyeyi kavururken bir an başından ayrıldım ve birkaç tanesi yandı, tatlıya hafif acımsı bir ton bulaştı, ocağın başından hiç ayrılmamak gerektiğini şimdi çok daha iyi anlıyorum.
