👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tahini sauce

  1. 1
    Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
    Blender
    💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  2. 2
    Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. 3
    Mix the tahini, crumbled halva, honey, olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt, until you get an even, smooth spread.
  4. 4
    Keep the spread in a closed jar in the fridge up to two weeks.
