You just made falafels. You have half a jar of tahini sitting around. And a whole jar of honey that someone gave you from her bees. Time to make halvah.
I have always loved halvah. I used to buy a big block of it at Zabar's and eat the whole thing. I figured it was a magical delicacy that can only be made in a factory (like daifuku mochi, but that's another story). Thanks to the internet, I have been educated. Halvah is really easy to make. You get to use the thermometer, so that's fun, and it sets up in the fridge.
Halvah
Ingredients:
- 2 c tahini
- 2 c honey
- 1 t vanilla (or any flavor you want, like coffee or cocoa)
- 1 c pecans, or any nuts, optional
Instructions:
- Heat the honey to the soft ball stage (I just used a thermometer to 240F).
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Line a heat-resistant tupperware with parchment and pour the liquid in. Resist the temptation to taste unless you are very careful! It's really hot!
- Cover and chill for at least 24 hrs. Slice and serve at room temp.
Enjoy,
Tofu
