Sicilian Sesame Candy Recipe - Lidia's Kitchen Series

Here’s another sweet that, like figs stuffed with almonds, is usually made around the holidays in Calabria. It is simply a caramel syrup with sesame seeds stirred in, poured onto a counter to cool in a thin layer, and cut into bite-sized candies. A smooth, nonporous surface like marble, granite, or stainless steel is best for the cooling; avoid porous wooden surfaces or Formica. You can find the full recipe here - lidiasitaly.co...

Sesame seeds and almonds. I have to love a dessert that has some redeeming nutritional qualities.

Reminds me of childhood. Sometimes you can find something like this prepackaged, but don't fool yourself. It's not quite the same. My teeth can tell you.

Looks great. I am going to make it very soon. 2 questions. Can I substitute with sugar with only honey / brown sugar? Do I need to toast both sesame seeds and almond? Thanks again for your good delicious recopies. Happy Holidays

[@bahar770]

Hi,
I made these Sesame Candy and I love the taste and the texture except the pieces could not be dried separately they stocked together! What did I do wrong.
Happy New Year.

[@msr1116]

I know this as Greek sesame and honey candy. Very sweet and tasty but too sugary to eat more than a few times in a year.

[@mariafentis]

Greek here ! Yes Pasteli ... very sweet but so good. I

[@mariafentis]

You can also use orange rind and put nuts like walnuts or pistachios as well ..

[@user-kl7zr1of5c]

❤❤❤

[@steadfast4837]

In many places sesame seeds, oil, etc are currently recalled due to salmonella contamination.

[@Jess-ne6fw]

Its also a Lebanese treat 🇱🇧

[@pressconsg1697]

Hi Captain!! I see you are getting really good. A grades site! I'm thinking where are your origin. hmm... haha Nice effort!! Good luck

[@siranoushmalkhasian4446]

👍👍👍

[@thesiboy1181]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Other Chefs take the original Receipts From the Real Country that the Receipts were Originated From and Tweak it in their Own Way..Its not Originated in Italy But Greek . Delecasy.

[@johngaytes-ex7nt]

Actually that is Greek treat not Italian called pasteli and the Greeks make it only with honey so its super healthy,,,Ms Lidia next time do a little research before you misinform people about the origin of a product

[@jamesvoigt7275]

So many countries claim the origin of this kind of candy. Does it matter, especially if your intention is to share something good with the world?

[@johngaytes-ex7nt]

@@jamesvoigt7275 Yes it does matter !

[@jamesvoigt7275]

In that case, I hope you find your knowledge comforting. I being a citizen of the US on the other hand, suffer from the poverty of cultural traditional foods, except for Native American, because of the youth of my country. If you are Greek, allow me to thank you as a representative of your country for the richness of the food traditions that Greece has shared with the world. So many countries have food traditions that have added immeasurably to my life, truly to us all.@@johngaytes-ex7nt
