Preparation
First, prepare the syrup by boiling it, then after 10 minutes add lemon juice, turn off the heat, and let it sit.
Place the semolina in a bowl and add all the other ingredients.
Mix with hands like kneading dough.
Grease a square baking dish and spread the mixture with hands.
Score into pieces with a spoon handle and place almonds on top.
