Sweet Semolina: Halva
Recipe courtesy Cat Cora

Ingredients
Semolina:
4 ounces olive oil
4 ounces finely ground semolina
4 ounces coarsely ground semolina
2 ounces blanched and finely chopped almonds
Ground cinnamon
Syrup:
12 ounces water
10 ounces sugar
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

Directions
Heat oil in a medium pot on medium-high heat. Add the
semolinas and almonds and stir constantly until the semolina is cooked and golden
brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small pot, mix the water, sugar, lemon half, cloves, and cinnamon. Place on
high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-high heat and simmer until
sugar has dissolved, about 6 minutes. Pass through a sieve and discard lemon and
spices.
Carefully, pour the syrup over the semolina and stir until well blended. Cover the
pot and let sit to absorb, about 10 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into 3 1/2 to 4-ounce ramekins and let cool. Unmold onto a plate
and sprinkle with cinnamon.
