Ingredients
For the rhubarb compote:
- 500 g rhubarb cleaned, leaves removed, stalks chopped into even 3 cm chunks
- 125 g brown sugar
- 1 orange zested
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the halva:
- 125 g butter unsalted
- 1 cup semolina
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups water
- ¾ cup walnuts shelled
- ½ cup almonds slivered
- 1 orange zested
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
Instructions
For the rhubarb compote:
- Preheat your oven to 170 deg C.
- Place the rhubarb, orange zest and cinnamon in a baking dish and stir everything until well combined.
- Cover your baking dish and cook for 45 mins - until the rhubarb is soft and jam like in consistency.
- Allow to cool before serving.
For the halva:
- Melt the butter over a medium high heat in a saucepan. Add the semolina and continue stirring until the semolina turns into a lovely toasted, golden colour. Do not over cook this as it will taste bitter.
- Add the sugar, spices and nuts and give everything a good stir. Add the water very gently and stir continuously.
- The halva is ready when it has thickened and comes away from the sides of the pan.
- Pour into a 16cm large dariole mould and cover with a plate until it has cooled slightly and set (I did this for 10 mins).
- Turn onto a plate and serve it up with some rhubarb compote.
Notes
- Any semolina will do. You can also substitute the butter with olive oil.
