La pompe à huile
Recipe

A cube of baker's yeast (about 40 g)
150 g caster sugar
2 whole eggs and 1 yellow to brown
Half a glass of first-order virgin olive oil (100-150 ml)
2 to 5 tablespoons of orange blossom water according to the taste of each
Grated orange peel
A glass of warm water
A pinch of salt
PREPARATION:

Break and beat 2 eggs in the bowl.
Add the half-glass of oil and the orange blossom water (3 tablespoons).
Add the orange peel and a pinch of salt.
Add the yeast, 150g of sugar and the flour while stirring.

Greek Halva
Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup olive oil
2 cups coarse semolina
3 cups sugar
4 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
150 g almonds or walnuts, chopped
Cinnamon powder, for sprinkling
PREPARATION:
Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan, on a medium heat, without letting it burn, because the halva will smell
intense.
Pour the semolina and roast it, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon for 10 - 12 minutes until it gets
coloured.
At the same time, boil for 5 minutes on low heat sugar, water and cinnamon. We do not care about making syrup
but melting the sugar and leaving the fragrance of cinnamon.
When the semolina is roasted, pull the pot out of the heat, add the nuts and add the hot sugar mixture, stirring
carefully as it splashes and burns like a lava.
Lower the fire and put it back on top of the pot. Stir, top up and leave for 2-3 minutes, until the halva is boiled, and
the liquids are saved.
Remove the cinnamon sticks and empty it into the classic form of the cake with the hole. Let stand for about 20
minutes to get rid of it without any problems. Turn the form on a platter, garnish with nuts and sprinkle with
cinnamon. Halvah squeezes as it cools.
TIPS:
We can replace olive oil with seed oil or put half a quantity of one and half of each other. Thus, halva becomes
lighter.
Continuous stirring in roasting is necessary because semolina can easily grab. The purpose is to cook slowly, not
to burn.
If we want to add raisins, remove 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, so as not to risk the result of being sweet.
