Method

Stir the saffron strands into the milk to infuse.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a drizzle of honey and the reserved pistachios.

Remove from heat once the seera pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Rapidly stir in the milk and sugar, then continue cooking for a further two minutes.

Stir in the raisins and most of the pistachios, reserving 5ml for garnish, and cook for two minutes.

Heat the butter gently in a pan and cook the semolina for five minutes until light golden brown.
