Cook Me Greek
Halvás:
Serves 16 (I used a 23cm round tube mold)
You don’t have to worry about grams for this recipe; just use any coffee cup to measure all your ingredients.
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups semolina
3 cups granulated sugar
4 cups water
Zest from one organic lemon
First make the syrup. In a small pot over medium-high heat, add sugar and water and bring to boil. Simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved, - about 6-7 min.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a cooking pot on medium-high heat. Add the semolina and stir constantly for about 7-10min for a light toasting, or until the semolina is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Carefully, pour the hot syrup into the pot with the toasted semolina. For a moment the mixture will start bubbling like hot lava so be careful. Return the pot to medium- low fire and mix constantly for 5-6min until the batter thickens; add the lemon zest (At this stage you can add dry chopped fruits like cranberries, apricots and sultanas, or dry nuts like walnuts and almonds).
Remove from the fire and spoon the batter to the baking pan or mold. Let cool; unmold and serve at room temperature.
Halvás can also be served, dusted with cinnamon.
