How to Make Semolina Halva
- Melt 1/2 cup (113g) of unsalted butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups (250g) semolina and 1/2 cup (50g) pine nuts. Roast, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, until the pine nuts are lightly browned and the semolina is fragrant.
- Add 1 cup (240ml) water, 1 cup (240ml) milk, and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low, and continue stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot (about 20-25 minutes). The halva will thicken considerably.
- Remove from heat. Cover the pot and let the halva cool completely. This allows it to set and develop its signature texture.
