North African-Inspired Tunisian Farka: A Breakfast Pasta Delight

    Made as written for ZWT6 except for the addition of some raisins at the last moment just because I had an excess of them on-hand. This easy-to-fix recipe is prob the biggest surprise for me in ZWT6 to-date. I'm not at all sure why, but I was prepared not to like this. Instead I found a breakfast treat I like way more than Europe's muscli or US granola, cereals, etc. My combo of nuts from your list included walnuts, almonds, pistachios & pine nuts. used milk + a bit of extra sugar to eat it warmed, but think it would be as good microwaved vs baked to warm & I even liked it at room temp after fully-cooled. I am not a morning-person, nor are we blessed w/all manner of convenience foods as in the US .. so I must tell you the only labor-intensive part of this recipe for me was chopping the nuts while half asleep. I will chop them the night b4 from now on & then this will be ready in a flash the next morning! Thx for posting this recipe full of flavour & texture. It is definitely a 5* keeper for me! :-)
