The semolina halva, which is made on special occasions in Traditional Turkish Cuisine, is a dessert in the flavor that suits the head corners when the right measurements are used and roasted. Enjoy your meal!
Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a spring rice pot and heat and add 3 tablespoons of butter.
For the sherbet of halva, add 1 glass of milk and 1 glass of water to 1 glass of granulated sugar and set it on fire. Stir the syrup until the sugar dissolves and remove from the heat.
When the peanuts in the butter are very lightly roasted, add the semolina to the pan and fry together on low heat, stirring constantly.
Pour the syrup slowly over the semolina and pistachios that have been roasted and changed color. At this time, the semolina will start to bubble, so mix it carefully without stopping. Take the halva, which absorbs its water, from the fire, mix it for one turn, close the lid and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
If you prefer your halva to be grainy, mix it from time to time while draining and brewing. You can serve your brewed halva warm or cold, by adding ice cream to it or by pouring cinnamon on it. Bon Appetit!
Note: This halva instead of peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts and so on. You can also use dry fruits.
Menu recommendation: bacon dried beans, butter plain rice pilaf, mixed pickles, spinach with olive oil, peanut semolina halva
