| Pistachio Helva |
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a pot, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. When it comes to a boil, remove from the
heat, set aside.
- 1 cup of semolina (farina)
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons ground unsalted pistachio nuts meat (I use my coffee grinder)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions:
In a pot, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. When it comes to a boil, remove from the
heat, set aside.
In a large pot, combine butter and semolina. Sauté the
semolina over medium heat stirring slowly for about 5-6 minutes (should NOT
turn brown). Lower the heat, slowly add the syrup, stirring constantly. It will
thicken. Add 1/2 cup ground pistachio, stir until well blended. Remove from the heat.
Cover the pot. Wait 10-15
minutes. Using an ice cream spoon or a melon baller, shape them into balls,
place on a serving dish. Sprinkle remaining ground pistachios over them as garnish. Serve
warm helva with vanilla ice-cream (optional).
