Nammoura *

(Semolina Cake)

Namoura, also known as Namora or Namura, is a traditional Lebanese dessert recipe. This dish has various names, like Basbousa in Egypt, Harissa in Palestine, or Shamali in Armenian. With different geography and culture, this dessert might be quite different from each other.  Namoura is made from semolina, shredded coconut, rose water, sugar, etc. Several people also use orange blossom water instead of rose water. They have a dense texture with rich flavor. With one bite, you can feel both soft and crispy from inside and outside.  It is the perfect sweet treat in many festivals, and they are truly a crowd-pleaser. What’s even better, they are totally suitable for a vegan diet that will not take too much effort or time.
