BEST NAMOURA RECIPE - AN EGGLESS MEDITERRANEAN CAKE - NAMOURA RECIPE

[AsmaaFaris]

It's funny how differently we make this recipe. We add alot of eggs lol. We use the tahini trick aswell :)

[09BabyChoi]

Hi Dede, I was wondering if it will be ok to use wheat flour instead of regular flour?

[dedemed]

@09BabyChoi yes definitely :)

[bushraafrin]

Hi dede,

Can i use just semolina and all purpose flour? In that case wht would be the propotion? Is bloosom water and tahini sauce important for the recipe.

Thanks,

cheers

[dedemed]

@bushraafrin yes all the ingredients are important but if you can't find farina, you can substitute that amount with the semolina :)

hi dede can u please answer my questions becuz u never get bak,heres my question,how can i make namoura ,the sticky more harder style like the one in leb sweet shops

[dedemed]

@SuperFatboy000 all you have to do is use a larger pan and just make lay it out thinner, add a lot of syrup and let it soak, this is like what they serve in the Lebanese sweet stores :)

[amoura289]

Hey De, quick question, I don't have farina-it's not that popular in london. Can I submit for course semolina or corn meal??? Also what if I used only fine semolina in the whole recipe, would that work?? Thanks so much. Would love to visit the states and visit u too in ur restaurant! XxX

[dedemed]

@amoura289 Yes you can use coarse semolina and it would work just as good :) Let me know when you come to the states!

[SuperFatboy000]

is farina fine semolia

[dedemed]

@SuperFatboy000 yes but it is a bit more coarse, if you find semolina, then just use semolina. The recipe is written out on my site :)

[Besaha1]

I like your version of the recipie, I like the nuts. I cut my cake in diamonds then I pour the syrup and it soaks it up faster.

[dedemed]

@Besaha1 great tip, thanks :)

[jawad384]

Will Namoura have the same taste if I use just Fine semolina?

[dedemed]

@jawad384 yes, it will still taste just as good :)

[Purushadasa]

Yummmmmmmmmm! Butter!

[sunerita]

[898169502]

thank you so much that was great thaks again

[Yelenaferjani]

Thank you so much for recipe, I have been cooking basbussa (harissa) for several years, I tried you recipe and it's even better! The only thing I do is to add some coconut flakes. I want to ask you a question, do you have recipe for bassma (basma), it's chewy brown with nuts in it? You can buy it from Shahita, but I would like to make my own. There is no bassma recipe online, I have been searching for quite a while, unless it has a different name for it, I am not sure. Thank you very much.

[dedemed]

@Yelenaferjani

I know exactly what you are looking for, I will make this video soon :)

[Aiyoshaaa]

This reminds me of "Basbousa" looks great, I'll try it some time! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us Dede, my family loves them all :)

Hi Dede, Tried this recipe. Loved it. very simple and good.

I made a few changes, as I did not have all the ingredients available. I used limoncello and grand marnier in the syrup and skipped the rose water.

thanks again.

[dedemed]

I'm sure it turned out wonderful. If you get a chance, try it with the orange and rose water, you will be impressed :)

[ktkbar]

I suppose you are getting me hooked on to Mediterranean cooking. I have already tried most of you vegetarian recipes and they all turned out great . I love your videos. I tried the Kanafeh Recipe. This time I tried it with orange and rose water. It was a big hit. thanks again.

[nessimaaaa]

Hi Im from France and I love Libanese food! My origin is Algerian(North African).

I want to thank you for this excellent recipe.

My english is so so but I've understood very well all your explanation!

Thank you again and good luck for everything! ;-)

[dedemed]

thank you :)

[catlovergal]

dede, when u mentioned to let the farina sit overnight before plating it, do u store it in the refridge and also, do u cover it at all?? Thanx!

[dedemed]

Yes, you should let it sit out overnight and cover it with foil or saran rap. You do not have to refrigerate it :)

[umsumaya]

hi dede,

what if we cant get farina... can we use an alternative?

[dedemed]

well, the thing about Namoura is that it is made from farina and/or samolina, I really don't think there is another substitute and definitely do not use flour. Try different stores or check online to see where you can get it in your area.

[HitItBaby]

This is so yummy! <3

[danyh77]

well dede, i posted on your website about not finding the farina, I used the finer semolina and it worked well. So another reciepe tried and success. Whats next???? :-)

[dedemed]

Amazing! :)

[vishali09]
