What goes with Semolina?
Culinary durum semolina consists of granular particles milled from durum wheat. Its pale golden colour and gentle cereal sweetness are more distinctive than a strong aroma. Particle size matters: coarse semolina hydrates differently from finely remilled durum flour.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Semolina?
A soft semolina base benefits from a sharp fruit, savoury sauce or browned surface to give it definition. Egg and dairy can enrich and set it, while herbs or citrus prevent that enrichment becoming the only flavour. Match the partner to the finished form: porridge, dumpling and pasta do not offer the same texture.
