We have researched the ingredients and preparation of semolina halva, a dessert common in Turkey as well as Balkan countries and many Middle Eastern countries.
Semolina Halva Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups semolina
- 120 g butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tea glass pine nuts
Semolina Halva Preparation:
-
Place the butter, semolina, and pine nuts in a pot and roast over low heat until the color of the pine nuts and semolina darkens.
-
You can tell if you have roasted it enough by the color of the pine nuts. Roast until it takes on a nice brown color without burning it too much. It takes about 40 minutes.
-
While the semolina is roasting, put the milk, water, and sugar in another bowl and mix. Pour this mixture over the roasted semolina and continue stirring until it boils. Once it boils, close the lid and leave it to cook. When it absorbs the water and reaches a consistency like rice pilaf, turn off the heat and let it rest for 7-8 minutes to brew before serving.
