Ingredients

Caraway Pudding

  • 4 cups water (tap water)
  • ¾ cup ground rice flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
  • 3 tablespoon caraway ground

Toppings

  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • ½ cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup pistachio roughly chopped
  • coconut flake to garnish (optional)
  • semi-dried apricots diced to garnish (optional)

Notes from Rouba

  • The secret to a great caraway pudding is medium heat and constant stirring.
  • When pouring into individual glasses, leave enough room for all those crunchy toppings.
  • Once the pudding has been garnished with the crunchy topping, serve immediately. If you have to refrigerate it, don’t cover it as the nuts will soften.
  • What are caraway and its benefits 

Method

Step 1.

In separate bowls, soak slivered almonds and pine nuts and set aside.

Step 2.

On medium heat, add ground rice, cinnamon, caraway, and sugar to the water and whisk until sugar dissolves and the pudding slightly thickens.

Step 3.

Pour evenly into individual glasses and fill about ⅓ of each glass only. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

Step 4.

To serve, garnish in order of toppings because that's how you get the most crunch: desiccated coconut, slivered almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, pistachio, coconut flakes, and dried apricots. Alternatively, pour the caraway pudding into one large serving bowl and follow the same process as above.

That’s me at the age of 32 with Merlin, who worked closely with Palestinian families. Together, we were so excited about the project. After that unforgettable visit with Auntie Suad, I was filled with excitement about the project. The women I met were inspiring, and together we had even come up with a name for the cookbook: Taste of Palestine. 🥰🇵🇸 It was a name that captured the heart of what we wanted to share—stories, recipes, and traditions tied to the land and its people.

But for many reasons, the project didn’t go ahead. At the time, I wasn’t prepared for the reality that not everyone would understand or support what I was doing. There were people who gossiped, joked, and made me question myself. Looking back now, I see that they were the minority, but their words had a way of making me doubt myself 🥺

if this happened now—I would not have let anything stop me. This was for a good cause, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason. The project was meant to be set aside, and I needed to focus on my boys, who were still young.
A couple of years later, we received the heartbreaking news of Auntie Suad’s passing 🥲🙏🏽It felt as though a part of the story had been left unfinished. A few weeks later, something arrived in the mail that would bring me to tears 😭 There’s more 🤗
