A Greek tradition dessert which is ideal for lent as it does not contain dairy products or eggs. Ingredients:
3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil |
3 cups semolina flour |
1 cup of blanched almonds, chopped |
1 apple |
1 pear |
a dash of cinnamon and sugar |
for the syrup |
3 cups sugar |
5 1/2 cups water |
3 -4 whole cloves |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 lemon peel |
cinnamon to sprinkle on top |
Directions:
1. In a sauce pan prepare syrup by adding the water, sugar, lemon peels, a few cloves and a cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil for a few minutes and then set aside removing the cinnamon stick, the cloves and lemon peel.
2. Peel and cut the fruit into small pieces. Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon and place into microwave for 3 minutes.
3. In another large sauce pan, heat oil and add the almonds until they roast (light brown colour). Add the semolina and stir constantly to roast as well but not to brown. Add the fruit and stir.
4. Lower heat and add syrup but be careful to stir constantly as this may overflow. Once the mixture is thick the halva is ready.
5. Place in a mold and let it cool down before placing in the refrigerator.
6. Unmold in a platter and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
