This recipe consists of slowlyxa0cooking whole or slightly crushed wheat grains in milk with some butter.xa0According to the tradition perpetuated for centuries, the "Herbel" must be put on the coals of charcoal the night preceding the morning of the holiday and leave it to slowly braise.
Prepared in this manner, wheat starch is released slowly and its texture becomes suave and smooth whence the legendary popularity of this dish which is served at will during family gatherings.
