Put the semolina in a dry pot and stir over low heat for 4 minutes.
Add the hot water little by little and thicken the mixture for 5 minutes.
Add the tahini and stir for 2 minutes, without raising the heat so the oil does not separate.
Stir in the honey after removing the pot from the heat, then divide into bowls.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, rest for 10 minutes, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Adding the honey after the heat is turned off helps its aroma stay brighter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
