[Sca-cooks] Semolina, Khabisa with Pamegranate

[Sue Clemenger]

I've made that one, as a test dessert for an Islamic feast a couple of 
years ago.
Dang, but I was disappointed.  Tasted like red "hot cereal!"  Didn't 
strike me as anything worth doing for a dessert!
--maire, who finds semolina in either the flour section or the organic 
foods/special foods section....

Considering the constancy of the finished cookies, I do not think that Cracked wheat would work as well (but I will try it :)
