Rešedija

Rešedija is a traditional Bosnian treat of stir-fried wheat starch and sugar (sometimes also jabukov pekmez) resembling small granules. The preparation starts with mixing wheat starch, sugar, and water, then stir-frying this mixture in a pan in vegetable oil or butter (or both) until it turns into granules. The entire process usually takes up to 15 minutes, and it's important to constantly stir so that it does not burn. In the past, wheat starch was prepared from scratch from wheat berries, and it was a long and laborious process that hardly anyone knows or does today. The finished treat is sprinkled with sugar and walnuts and used to be a must-have for iftar during Ramadan.
