Pumpkin Halva
Ingredients for Pumpkin Puree
- 1 kilo of pumpkin
1 cup of powdered sugar
- ½ cup of water
2 heaping tablespoons of butter
- ½ cup sunflower oil
Cinnamon
Place the coarsely diced pumpkin in a wide saucepan. Put the saucepan on the stove, add the granulated sugar, water, and cinnamon stick, and cover. Let it cook for 30 minutes. Once softened, blend the pumpkin using an immersion blender. Set aside.
Melt butter and sunflower oil in a wide pan. Once the butter has melted, add the flour and sauté until it changes color. When the flour is well browned, add the pumpkin puree spoonful by spoonful, stirring constantly. Finally, add the hot water and mix well. Cover the pan and let it rest. Then, shape the mixture with an ice cream scoop and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle with tahini. Sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon and serve.
