Pistachio Halva

Ingredients

Pistachios 1.5 cups

Water 1 cup

Milk 2 tbsp

Sugar 1/2 cup

Butter 2 tbsp

Vanillin 1/2 tsp

Place the pistachios in a wide bowl, pour boiling water over them, and let them sit for half an hour. Then, drain the nuts in a sieve, place them in a mixer or food processor fitted with metal blades, add the milk, and process until the nuts form a paste. Then add the sugar and mix.

In a deep non-stick frying pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the nut butter and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 minutes until the mixture thickens.

 Then add vanilla, stir, and place the halva on a greased baking sheet or tray, smooth the surface, and let it cool. Once set, cut the halva into small squares with a serrated knife, place them in the base, and serve. This halva can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Enjoy!
