Halva (حلاوه السميد).

Hello everybody, hope you’re enjoying the holiday so far.

Today we’re Mansaf-ing also,a record this month too much mansafs in such a short time,all by coincidence by the way.

A kind of dessert that’s both light and goes well with mansaf is this Greek recipe, they call it halva or semolina dessert.

Ingredients and method:

* 2 cups semolina ( you can use 1 coarse and 1 fine semolina or 2 fine )

* 3/4 cup vegetable oil.

* 3 cups sugar.

* 4 cups water.

* 1 tsp cinnamon.

* some almonds or walnuts for decoration.

 

* in one pan add semolina,oil  and cinnamon stir well  over low heat till all golden or brownish.

* in another pan boil sugar and water for 10 minutes.

* add syrup over semolina slowly and mix very well and leave to boil all together till it thickens.

* pour mixture in a mold or any shaped pan you have,you can add nuts in the bottom or later as you wish.

* leave in fridge to cool then turn it over and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
