MMMMM----- Meal-Master - Recipe via MMFIND (uf) v0.93
Title: Halvah
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Yield: 12 servings
3 c Water
2 c Granulated sugar
1 Cinnamon stick
3 Whole cloves
1 Lemon (peel only)
1/2 c Butter
1 c Coarse semolina or farina
4 tb Pine nuts
2 tb Blanched, chopped almonds
3 tb Whole blanched almonds
Combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, and lemon peel (or 1
tablespoon lemon juice) in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for
10 minutes, then cool.
Meanwhile, slowly melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, and cook for several
minutes, without browning. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, slowly
add the semolina or farina. Cook over low heat until the mixture turns a
golden chestnut color; do not brown. Add 2 tablespoons of the pine nuts and
chopped almonds and continue cooking 1 more minute.
Remove cinnamon stick, cloves, and peel from the cooled syrup. Gradually
add the syrup to the semolina mixture, stirring with a long-handled wooden
spoon; the mixture will bubble furiously. Cook over the lowest possible
heat until the syrup has been absorbed and the mixture thickens. Remove
from the heat and drape with a clean towel for 10 minutes. Turn into a
mold, spreading with a knife or a spatula. Cool, then reverse onto a
serving platter, sprinkle with cinnamon, and garnish decoratively with the
remaining pine nuts and the whole almonds. Cut into small, diamond-shaped
pieces.
