Method

  1. 1

    Boil cooking liquid: Bring the cited milk-and-water mixture to a boil.

  2. 2

    Cook cracked grain: Add cracked wheat, cover and simmer until the grain absorbs the liquid and becomes tender, about the source's indicated cooking period.

  3. 3

    Finish: Mix in niter kibbeh and salt and serve hot.

Cook's notes

  • A plant-based version would need its own sourced formula; do not automatically label this cited milk version tsom.
  • Keep heat controlled near the end because absorbed grain can catch on the pot bottom.
  • Cracked oats or corn are documented substitutions in this recipe and should be stored as variants.
