Semolina cake with cheese

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 180 g semolina (durum wheat semolina)
• ¾ liter of milk
• Salt
• 2 m.-sized eggs
• Nutmeg, grated
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 150 g cheese (Gouda), medium-aged
• Fat, for the baking tray

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Combine the semolina, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly (be careful, it burns very easily!), then remove the pan from the heat. When the mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the eggs and season with nutmeg. Spread the semolina mixture on a plastic cutting board, about a finger’s thickness, and let it cool completely. Mix the tomato paste with the Worcestershire sauce. Grate one-third of the cheese and slice the rest. When the semolina mixture has cooled and is completely firm, cut out semolina slices (or slices) using a cookie cutter. Distribute the cheese slices on half of the slices and spread with tomato paste. Place the remaining slices on top and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Grease the baking tray and place the semolina slices on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 15-20 minutes until nicely browned, then serve hot. A mixed salad goes very well with this.
