Ingredients
Vanilla Cream of Wheat
- Ingredients
- 2 red-skinned Apple (about 7 ounces)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 1 ¾ cups
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 ozs Wheat semolina
- 1 Tbsp cane sugar
- 1 oz Walnut
- Lemon balm (optional)
Wash and core the apples; cut into eighths. Transfer to a saucepan and add 4 tablespoons water, honey and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile slit the vanilla pod with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds. Transfer vanilla seeds to a pan; add milk and salt. Bring to a boil.
In batches gradually whisk semolina and sugar into milk. Whisk until mixture comes to a boil again. Remove the pan from heat; cover, and let steam for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile chop the walnuts. Stir the semolina well and pour into bowls. Serve topped with apples and walnuts. Sprinkle with lemon balm leaves, if desired.

Healthy, because
Wheat semolina provides complex carbohydrates to keep you satiated for a long time. Apples provide vitamins and trace elements, while walnuts provide important omega-3 fatty acids that are good for the heart and circulation.
Even smarter
Don't throw the scraped vanilla pod away. Instead put it into your sugar to infuse it with a delicate vanilla flavor.
