Sheera (she-rah)

Sheera is a common breakfast meal, but it can also be eaten as a snack during the day. The best way I can describe it to you is that it is a sweeter, drier version of grits. As someone who isn’t a big fan of grits or oatmeal, I hope you can see this as a possible substitute. One major plus of sheera is that it doesn’t take long at all to cook.
