Rais (rais tunis)

You will need coarse semolina,soften butter, stoned dates and small amount of chopped nuts of your choice, I used walnuts. This is a north African recipe for Rais.
Photobucket

500 gramm (2 cups) of semolina not the flour one
500 gramms of date paste needs to be sticky when mixed in with other ingredents so it will bind, if the dates are dry just steam them in a couscousier type steamer.
150 gramms of butter (I take 200)

Fry semolina on pan without oil untill it is golden. Make butter soft (I use microwave). Put everything together and here you go And then the most creative part - making different shapes out it

i have justed your blog before ,marhaban to mine sister, you are right the recipe was in the comments and not in the post itself i have moved it there for you. Also i didn't think them to be so popular, this is the Algerian version, i am sure they differ a lil to the Tunisian way but give it ago sister inshaAllah and let me know how you get on inshaAllah.
