I first tried this dessert in Bhamdoun, Lebanon, over 4 years ago.
A wonderfully humble old man, in his little shop handmade these squares of joy & fried them in front of us- And it stuck. What is Tamryie? How has this been missing from
my life.
The art of perfection
And so.. in his honour, here is my version- I tried to keep the lightness & crisp of his recipe.
INGREDIENTS
For the dough
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup of water & a little extra to coat the baking dish
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling
1/2 cup of fine semolina
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cups water
1/2 Tsp orange blossom water
GARNISH
Freshly ground Pistachios
1/4 cup icing sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
The crispy, lighter than air dough
In a stand mixer or a bowl, add the flour, salt and 1/4 cup of water.
Knead until the dough comes together into a soft slightly sticky ball of dough (add more water if needed).
Divide the dough into 4 parts, drizzle with vegetable oil and cover. Allow the dough to rest for a minimum of 1 hour.
The pudding filling
In a saucepan, add the fine semolina, milk, water and sugar.
Cook over medium low heat while stirring until the mix thickens.
Add the orange blossom water and take the filling off the heat.
Prepare your tray (for the pudding to cool) by dampening with a few drops of water. (This helps the pudding not stick to the tray. (We used a rectangular glass tray)
Pour the filling into a tray, spread evenly so its roughly 1cm thick.
Allow the filling to cool down completely, just as custard does, it will form a skin- don't panic! Its normal :)
Form the Tamriye
Drizzle a lean worktop with a little vegetable oil & start to gently roll out the dough.
You should be able to see your worktop through the dough (almost transparent).
Divide the rolled dough into 4 parts, if you want to square off the 4 parts, you can- it makes for easier folding at the end.
Divide the filling into equal squares (around 12 or more if possible)
Place a square of the chilled filling in the centre of each rolled out dough square.
And just as though you are sealing an envelope, bring all the edges into the centre to completely encase the filling.
Fry in preheated oil until golden brown- and place on a straining sheet.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately
