Yes, this looks more or less right. :-) I may have been getting farina and semolina mixed up, but I think either one should work fine.  Sugar and vanilla are right out; try a bit of rosewater instead, and orange-blossom water, too, if you can find it.  Otherwise, looks good!  If anyone tries this recipe, I'd love to hear how it comes out :-)
