Hearty dish with semolina
GourmetHealth and well-being
Semolina is not only a fairly popular cereal grain, but also very versatile. Whether savoury or sweet, semolina can be used in a lot of tasty dishes. We are also very happy to create unique dishes with semolina and would like to present you a wonderful dish by Andreas Herbst today.
But what is semolina anyway?
Semolina is a term used in the milling industry for fragments of grain (mostly wheat but also spelt) with a size of 0.3 to 1 mm. Semolina is made in a similar way to flour, but the mill is adjusted differently. The finer flour fraction, which is produced simultaneously in this grinding process, is later screened out and used as flour.
In our Riederalm kitchen we use Leoganger spelt semolina (from Ziefergut in Leogang) and semolina from the Rosenfellner mill. For savoury dishes, such as cheese dumplings, we add a little semolina to the spätzle dough to make it fluffier. In addition, the semolina can be used to prepare excellent side dishes such as semolina dumplings or semolina strudel. A sample dish that we currently have in our menu in the Riederalm: Leoganger lamb dumplings (Vorderrainerbauer) with Ronach (Stechaubauer), Garam Marsala & black bread
