The most fluffy Greek Semolina Halva and how to make it...safely!

Ingredients

• 2 cups coarse semolina
• 1 cup of olive oil
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of honey
• 4 cups of water
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 150 g raw almonds
• 150 g walnuts

Depending on your taste you can use olive oil or vegetable oil or you can mix two types of oil. You can also use 1/2 cup of any type of oil and 1/2 cup of butter which tastes amazing. As for the nuts, you can add the amount and type you like, as well as raisins. You can also use some cloves or vanilla extract. The amount of cinnamon may seem small to you but keep in mind that we will sprinkle some extra cinnamon on top. You can also add orange or lemon zest for a more aromatic result. 

Preparation

In a pot, add the water, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and bring to a boil for 3 minutes, over medium heat.  Turn off the heat and add the honey. Whisk well until the honey melts.

Chop the nuts in a blender by pressing the button gradually. That way, the pieces will stay solid and won’t take out any oils which will a more pasty result.

Heat up a non-stick pan, add the semolina and almonds and stir constantly, over medium heat, for 10′.

Add the walnuts and pour the oil. Stir for 1′ until the oil is mixed and turn off the heat.

Add the semolina in a pot along with the syrup and turn on the heat. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer.

As soon as you see the first bubble, turn off the heat, cover the pot with a towel and the lid on top and let it cool down.
