Skopelos 6 - Halva



This moist cake is very different from the sesame Halva made in the Middle East, it tastes more like the Prasad from India that my mom used to make when we were little. You can add nuts or dried fruit to it, we had it with golden raisins and the whole thing nearly melts in your mouth. Plus it has a super easy to remember recipe: 1, 2, 3, 4 (ena, thio, tria, tessera)!

(less than) 1 cup of olive oil
2 cups of semolina
3 cups of sugar
4 cups of water

Boil the water and sugar
Cook the flour and oil together in a saucepan until golden
Add the water mixture to the flour mixture slowly, stirring as it soaks up
Leave it in a bowl to cool, and once it's ready flip it over and voila!
