This wonderful dessert is another ‘gift’ from the Libyan Jewish community. It is a rich and aromatic semolina bake containing raisins and almonds, with a scrumptious honey glaze. Most people also add orange blossom water and a few prefer rose water - my favourite version is the orange blossom water one (suggested here). It is traditionally cut into squares or diamond-shape portions and served with tea, mostly for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, but I make it all year round!
