OATS HARISSA

Try this delicious Oats Harissa from the Middle Eastern. Perfect breakfast menu with compete balance diet in it. This harissa should not be confused with the spicy North African chilli paste.  Same pronunciation, different beast altogether.  This harissa (also sometimes transliterated as hariseh) is sort of like porridge made of a combination of wheat and meat cooked over a period of time until it's smooth and fine. Its smooth consistency makes it a favourite dish during Ramadan among the middle easteren, however at home this is my family all time favourite. Serve best with bread.

Bubur Arab yang menjadi kegemaran anak-anak saya. Biasanya top masa Ramadan tetapi anak dara saya yang bongsu tu paling gemar bubur ni. Biasanya kalau Ramadan saya masak pakai gandum..tetapi kalau hari-hari kerja biasa saya gantikan gandum dengan oats, mudah dan cepat. Rasanya lebih kurang sama. Bubur ni sedap cicah dengan roti dan semasa memakannya perahkan sedikit limau dan taburkan sedikit paprika atau garam masalah...mak ai..memang enak.
