Ingredients:

• 1 liter whole milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup semolina (fine)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chopped pistachios or walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat the milk and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
2. In a separate pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semolina and stir continuously until it turns golden brown and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the semolina while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Pour the mixture into serving bowls or a shallow dish. Let it cool and set.
7. Garnish with chopped pistachios or walnuts if desired.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
