Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 7 days at room temperature or about 10 days in the fridge.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Sourcing: You can find some of the Middle-Eastern specific items like the semolina and tahini at Middle Eastern markets, natural-foods stores or even in large supermarkets, often located with other Middle Eastern ingredients.
- For tahini, you can substitute oil or butter
- For the coarse semolina, you can also use fine semolina, but don’t use flour instead of semolina because it will not yield the right results
- For the pine nuts, you can use almonds. Silvered almonds work well and make sure they are raw since they will be getting roasted in the oven.
