Cooking

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan or pot over medium heat.
Add ptitim and lightly fry, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until a light golden color and nutty aroma appear.
Carefully pour in boiling water and add salt, then mix well.
Reduce heat to minimum, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes until the groats absorb all the liquid.
Remove from heat, leave under the lid for another 3-5 minutes to steam, then mix and serve.
