Jess' Greek Semolina Halva Recipe | KALI OREXI

In this video, our guest chef, Jess, takes over the Kali Orexi Kitchen to share her Step-by-Step recipe for one of her favourite desserts, Greek Semolina Halva. This is a spiced semolina halva, generously dotted with chopped walnuts. It's vegan-friendly and easy to prepare!
"This recipe is inspired by two of my absolute favourite and inspiring kitchen mentors: my late Yiayia Maritsa and the beautiful Kathy Tsaples. My late Yiayia Maritsa used to make Halva, but I wasn't able to learn her recipe before she passed.
My Yiayia Maritsa gave me a collection of her handwritten recipes and magazine clippings from Greek magazines of her favourite recipes, all lovingly bound in a folder, before she passed away and it's one of my most prized possessions!
I found her handwritten recipe for Halva but it was unfinished. It notes butter, olive oil and semolina, but there is no mention of spices or nuts. When Kathy released her first cookbook 'Sweet Greek', I tried her Halva recipe and it was magic! It tasted just like Yiayia's! Over time I've modified it to be vegan friendly by using only olive oil (Yiayia used a combination of butter and olive oil. Kathy's recipe uses butter and grapeseed oil). I also use less sugar in the syrup.
I hope you make and it and love it as much as I do.
Love,
Jess"
ℹ️ Foodie Fact: Most Halva recipes are based on the 4,3,2,1 principle - a principle used by Greek cooks to learn and remember the recipe!
4 cups water
3 cups sugar
2 cups semolina
1 cup nuts
1 cup oil!
Easy!!!!"
