Anche questo dolce proviene dal libro di Claudia Roden " La Cucina del Medio Oriente e del Nord Africa" Ed. Ponte alle Grazie .
Ci sono moltissimi dolci diversi che vengono chiamati "Basbousa" le varianti possono essere con farina, semolino, sciroppi speziati, cocco.. possono essere cotti nel tegame o in forno... avere consistenza di budino o di dolce vero e proprio... possono essere consumati tiepidi o freddi.
Proprio per queste innumerevoli varianti il termine "basbousa" può essere sostituito con "helva" che significa "dolce".
Le dosi, spesso, in queste ricette sono non precise, ma a tazze cucchiai: ho cercato di dare un peso agli ingredienti usando tabelle che avevo.
Basbousa con mandorle
