For my pilot son, Greg. Love mom. ~ Yiayia
who doesn't like Halva? For some reason this ones been designated as EFG (Especially for Greg) my brother in law... ~ Melanie
1/2 cup Butter
3 cups of semolina flour
2 cups sugar
4 cups water
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 to 2 tsp ground cinnamon for dusting
In a heavy 10 to 12 inch skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Pour in the semolina in a slow, thin stream, stirring constantly. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until all the oil has absorbed and the meal turns into a light golden color. Add the sugar and then gradually stir in the water. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes longer, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape almost solidly in the spoon. Watch for burning and regulate the heat accordingly. Pour the halva into and un-greased 6x10x2 inch baking dish, spreading it out and smoothing the top with a metal spatula or the back of a spoon. Dust the top of the halva with cinnamon. Cool until firm. Just before serving, cut into 1 inch squares. Alternately, you can use a jello mold to form this into a decorative desert.
