How to cook halva from seeds at home

A simple rural recipe for cooking halva at home from sunflower seeds. Some chefs have given up buying halvah and now cook it themselves: and it turns out more and tastier.

Ingredients:

• seeds without husk - 200 g;
• water - 50 ml;
• sunflower oil - 50 ml;
• flour - 150 g;
• sugar - 50 g;
• vanilla sugar - 1 bag.

Method of cooking

1. Raw cleaned seeds (not roasted) are washed in a sieve and drained.
2. Heat a pan with a thick bottom without oil. Place the seeds on the heated dish and, stirring with a wooden spatula, lightly fry.
3. Roasted seeds are passed through a meat grinder twice. You can use a blender. But a coffee grinder is not worth it, because the seeds release oil and the equipment can be damaged.
4. In a dry frying pan, fry the flour until a delicate yellow-golden color.
5. Flour is mixed with mashed seeds and again in a meat grinder. Once is enough.
6. Dissolve sugar in warm water in a saucepan and boil the syrup. It is not necessary to make it caramel. It should be transparent and slightly viscous.
7. Pour the syrup into the seed mixture. Oil is poured here and vanilla sugar is added.
8. Halva is thoroughly kneaded. It will be thick and difficult to mix, but it must be done conscientiously.
9. The form is lined with cling film and filled with ready-made halva. Cover the form with foil or parchment and put the wick on top of the plate. Put halva in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours.
