When I discovered how few recipes representing Oman were on the site, I went searching. The NA/ME Forum will be spending January 2013 exploring the country & here is my culinary contribution. **2 of 3 people LOVED this! It took awhile for it all to come to a boil & from there I simmered 5 minutes. It thickened upon standing. Enjoy!**
Ingredients:
3/4 cup farina (khabeesa or cream of wheat )
5 cups whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons rose water (optional)
1 pinch saffron thread
Directions:
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a sauce pan with a whisk. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to the lowest level and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Serve warm topped with a bit of butter, if desired.
