GREEK SESAME HONEY CANDY (PASTELI)



Greek Sesame Honey Candy (Pasteli) image

Something of an ancient Greek version of a power bar, pasteli has been made with the same two ingredients for millennia: honey and sesame seeds.

Categories     Dessert     Snack     Candy

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/3 cups honey
3 cups white sesame seeds (hulled)
Optional: 1 strip lemon peel (about 1/4 x 1 inch)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Bring the honey and lemon peel (if using) to a boil in a saucepan. Add the sesame seeds, stirring continuously. Continue to cook while stirring to mix completely and thoroughly.
  • When the seeds are fully mixed in and the mixture has boiled again, remove the pan from the heat. Remove the lemon peel and discard it.
  • Place a piece of baking parchment on a cool work surface and spread out the hot mixture thinly and evenly (about 1/4-inch deep).
  • Cool the pasteli to room temperature before refrigerating it on the parchment paper (it doesn't need to be covered). Chill for at least 2 to 3 hours.
  • Using kitchen shears , cut the pasteli together with parchment paper into small pieces, and serve.
  • Peel off the parchment paper to eat. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. You can enjoy pasteli as a natural energy bar. Sesame seeds are high in protein, but also contain healthy oils and antioxidants. If you've become dependent on store-bought energy bars, these will have no additives, and you can ensure they are gluten free if that is a concern. One variation you might try is adding some crushed nuts to the mixture, such as pistachios. Or lightly toast some of the sesame seeds to add a roasted flavor.

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups sesame seeds (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar or 1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Coat a 9-inch-square baking pan or dish with oil or non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Put the sesame seeds into an ungreased 10-inch skillet (preferably one with a non-stick surface) and stir them over medium-high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and aromatic.
  • Temporarily transfer the seeds (they will be hot) to a bowl, making sure that none are left in the skillet; set aside.
  • Put the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger into the skillet and mix them well.
  • Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • As soon as the entire mixture comes to a full rolling boil, cook it vigorously for exactly 2 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in the sesame seeds until well mixed.
  • Quickly turn out the hot mixture into the prepared pan and use a metal spatula that has been dipped into cold water to press the candy into a very smooth and even layer.
  • Cool the candy in the pan for l5 minutes, or until it is solid but still lukewarm.
  • Run the spatula around the edge of the candy to loosen it.
  • Then turn out the whole slab of candy onto a wooden board or other cutting surface.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the large square of warm candy into very small squares, diamonds, or rectangles.
  • Cool the candies completely; then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • If a professional look is desired, roll each cooked candy in a small piece of stiff cellophane and twist the ends.

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups honey
3 cups of hulled white sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped blanched almonds or 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 strip lemon peel
rose water
1 cup sesame seeds
oil

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring honey and lemon peel to a boil. Add sesame seeds stirring continuously and continue to cook while stirring to mix completely and thoroughly. When the seeds are fully mixed in and the mixture has boiled again, remove from heat. Remove and discard lemon peel.
  • Place a large sheet of parchment on a flat work surface.
  • Carefully pour the honey mixture onto the paper to form a square or rectangle about 1/2" thick. Lightly sprinkle the paper with rose water & cover with half of the sesame seeds.
  • Dip a spatula into rose water or oil and press down the pasteli then. Cover the surface with the remaining sesame seeds and press them into the pasteli with the spatula.
  • (Instead of pouring straight onto the paper you can use a lightly oiled jelly / jam roll tin, then follow the rest of the instructions.).
  • Allow to cool slightly - do not leave too long or it will become impossible to cut!. Once firm, cut into squares or diamonds and allow to cool properly.
  • Wrap each piece individually in small pieces of waxed paper and store in an airtight container.
