Greek halwa recipe # sweet

Start with the syrup ; add in all the ingredients together in boiling water & pop in the saucepan and bring to a light simmer & dont touch it

Dont stirr it dont even look at it - its very self conscience this syrup & will go grany at the mere thought that someone has stuck a spoon in it !

While ur syrup is descrectly warming through make ur filling

Add the olive oil to saucepan & get hot enough that when u drop a few grains of semolina into it they start to fry on the surface. Pour in all the semolina & stirr it.

The filling is not self conscience & is infact an extrovert that demands constant attention !! Keep stirring

Keep stirring until it starts to turn colour,add crushed walnuts and stirr Till it turns to nice golden colour (make sure not to burn)remove from stove & let it cool for few moments

This is a bit to be careful with. Slowly start to pour in all the syrup. Because it is hot like flowing lava from volcano !it will bubble but let it settle for a moment & start stirring.

Keep stirring for about 25 minutes make sure stirr it is well thicken. Once u have reached to thick texture let it cool a little and pours in nice moulds or u can use a Pastery cutter while its in baking tray.

Garnish it with walnuts or tiny pinch of salt flakes.

Goes well with a decent Greek coffee or espresso enjoy the Greek halwa @ snack time !!!!!
