Greek Halva With Almonds Recipes

GREEK HALVA WITH ALMONDS

This is a traditional greek dessert, but unlike most of the recipes on this site, uses butter instead of oil. I like to heat a bit up and pour milk over it and have it for breakfast. Please note that cooking time doesn't include time for cooling (since technically it's good hot too).

GREEK HALVA

The traditional semolina based Greek halva recipe is often referred as "1:2:3:4″, as it calls for one unit oil, two semolina, three sugar and four water. So simple! If you haven't tried semolina Greek halva before, you will be surprised by the delicious taste of those 4 humble ingredients, when combined.. When preparing a Greek halva recipe, the semolina is firstly toasted in oil, bringing an irresistible smell and then soaked in hot syrup, with the aromas and blends of cinnamon and clove. Simply delicious! So if you are looking for a delicious no-dairy, no-butter and egg-free dessert, that's the one!
