Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups Greek Honey
3 cups sesame seeds, raw
1 cup almonds or pistachios
1/2 teaspoon salt
optional: orange zest, 1-2 tablespoons orange juice, cardamom seeds, vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 177 degrees Celsius.
Spread out the sesame seeds and almonds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the preheated oven to toast.
Toast them for 5-7 minutes on the middle rack.
While the seeds and nuts are toasting, zest the orange and set the zest aside.
Place the honey, salt, and orange juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and cook the sweet mixture about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Chop the toasted almonds into small to medium sized pieces.
Carefully pour the toasted seeds and chopped almonds into the honey mixture along with the orange zest.
Mix everything very well, off the heat, until combined.
Pour the mixture onto a baking dish/pan lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly. Brushing the spatula with olive oil will make it easier to spread the candy mixture.
If you like this dessert thick, use an 8x8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
If you like thinner bars, spread the mixture onto a half sheet baking tray lined with parchment paper or a 9x 13 inch baking dish.
Allow to come to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator for a few hours to harden.
Cut it in your preferred size and shape.
Enjoy!

Looks great and delicious
Now looking at this video and it looks super delicious and a must must try.. I love the healthier way and it was explain so well
Amazing. I want to try this.
Ah! I'm thankful I found something sweet I can eat! Looks yummy!
I will definitely try them, I love them and so healthy especially with honey.
I lost my recipe and have been looking everywhere for a sesame candy recipe without sugar. Why would anyone put sugar in sesame candy? You can get it hard by adding less honey or spreading it thinly on a cookie sheet to cool. Sugar defeats the whole purpose of a healthy candy imo. So glad you posted this, never tried orange peel before but will definately be trying it.
NoStoppingit7 people put sugar in the candy cause they want the candy to hardened better, candy like if I makes any sense. This recipe came out amazing, but it’s sticky, not hard.
@@yoyou3264 in my opinion stickiness is good 😉 yk you can lick your finger/hands after eat it 🤣
@@natalieramon2595 not in the age of corona.
I just discovered your channel. this recipe looks fantastic! I am so excited to try it. Thank you for sharing!
I have honey from our village in Lakonia so I'm so ready to make this! Evharisto poli!
Dziękuję! Zdrowa receptura! More Healthy Sweets please! Love!
I love that you use no sugar! Looking forward to trying this.
I can't wait to make pasteli bravo!
Δοκίμασα τη συνταγή εύκολη και γρήγορη. Το πορτοκαλί την κάνει πεντανόστιμη. Πολύ χρήσιμα τα βίντεό σου συνέχισε έτσι.
That is wonderful!!!!
Enjoy!
I just made this while watching this tutorial and it smells so good!
Wonderful!
Looks delicious and totally healthy....you never disappoint !
Honey is not healthy, ppl tend to believe this only bc bees make it.
Super I’ll start to do it myself too
Thank you, I will make from South Africa
Nice tips there!!
I love ❤️ your food 😋
Looks like something I will make. I spray my measuring cup with can oil spray works great.
I tried It and it came out yummy!
@Pink Salt ,I didn't use it
Wow very nice recipe so yummy
looks good! I will try it!
Enjoy! If you're on Instagram, tag me in pics :)
Thanks for sharing !!
Just found the channel..
Thank you very much for sharing this healthy homey bars ..❤
Stay connect ..💐😊
I can literally smell the aroma of the orange.
Just found this channel. These look delish. I'm going with 1/2 sugar as I want a hard candy. Sesame bars are a great trail snack. I could go for days with a backpack full and enough water.
Same base as Helva. I have some black sesame seeds and might try something like this with them. But I would not cook the honey so much as it loses too much of it nutrients when heated.
Finally got this recipe and easy! When I fist tried this greek sesame candy in Athens I wanted to bring a lot of them on my suitcase! 😋 🧡👌🏽
WoW thanks so much
Wow thanks so much God bless 🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yummmm
Hi Dimitra I love pasteli I've never tried to make it, I do prefer the kind that snaps so I will try mixing the honey with sugar as you suggested. I will have to get together with my mum and make it now... Have you made a video making Moustalevria?
OH LORD YES!!
Bravo
Processing now to apply as you did. I just did little change. I mix 1 cup of agave and 1/2 cup of honey.
Did it very well. My kids loved it
I love greek food, my bestie is greek and her yayah (grandmother) has taught us some receipes. I love hava, and sponakopeta, im not big on baklava, to much sugar. There are other dishes, and im sorry my spelling is wrong, but we have a greek festival hete the first weekend in sept. And wow, the gyros, and grape wraps are sooo good. Im german-irish my self and me and my BFF teach each other different receipes from each of our heritage. I loving learning and trying new things. Just like i tell my kids, how are you gonna know if you like if you dont try it.
I agree with you! The children should be exposed to delicious food :) All the best!
wow⚘
Jaggery and sesame is a very good option as well!!
Yumm 🌻🐝
Is there a way to do it without boiling the honey?
I made these but had to use regular honey. I don’t know if it was the different honey but these were not firm enough to stay in the shape I cut them in. I ended up rolling them into balls. I put them on wax paper but they stick to the paper. If I made them again I would roll them in dry sesame seeds so they’re not as sticky. Also, I’m pretty sure the amount made in the video is half the recipe. Had I known that I would have done the same. I’m now stuck with tons of these and I’m the only one who likes them.
Same thing happened to me :(
Hi i hv heard that if v shud not boil honey cos it's not safe to eat is this true kindly reply
Mmmmm
i have the same grater :D
it's not just honey from exactly inside the greek borders that's special but the general area for example aristotle praised the wealth of bee forage in where is now albania
This looks great and I think my kids will enjoy it. I can't wait to try it . Also where is the link to purchase Greek honey.
Here it is, but I also have links on my website :). amzn.to/2xXRTeu
Thank You!
Thanks for the recipe but can you please let me know what’s the measurements for the sesame. Thanks
MMMMMMMMMTHANK S 👍
What is opinion of using lemon zest??
Yassas, Is this the same as Melacooni?
You wow...pure heaven! Please let me move into your house!
I give you to many thumbs up
What to substitute honey with ?
The measurements for this honey recipe default to the sugar hard card snaps. With just honey do you use 2 or 3 cups of sesame seeds?
Hulled or unhulled sesame seeds?
Can I use already toasted sesame seeds?
I love it but when you cook the honey it destroys its enzymes so there’s no point in taking a good quality honey, just use any honey.
Have you tried African honey??!
Great for Passover, no flour?
oh my mercy that looks so good oh where do you buy the honey
Bridget Umphryes ...
I too want to purchase the honey she mentioned!

Here's Dimitra's link to purchase Greek honey: www.amazon.com/Attiki-Greek-Honey-16-Jar/dp/B000CD87MI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1490913965&sr=8-2&keywords=greek+honey&linkCode=sl1&tag=dimitrasdishe-20&linkId=ca70ff9dc1d4000d3c895dcf7cfaea7c
thank you
I buy it from my local Mediterranean market or from Amazon :)
thank you
👍
You should Oil your paper with sesame oil, or any neutral tasting oil !! Use Pam/Cooking Spray on measuring cups So that the honey will come out easier, and on your spatula and spoons---
I don't see any link for buying greek honey.

And how do you store these, frig or room temperature?
Room temperature
Can I get the quantities?
Why do we have to toast the sesame seeds?
Toasting releases the flavour of sesame and the sesame oil inside of it gets activated. Same goes of any nuts or spices. Praying makes it taste 10 times better
Is melikoumi the same thing?
You mean melekouni? It's a Rhodes version of pasteli
Can i add dried fruits and other nuts ?
Almonds and Pistachios were best Oh so yummy!!
You didn’t tell us how to store them and for how long we can store them?
My question! Will u gain weight eating this?? Homemade.
Lol the honey isn't as bad as sugar
Dimitra, thank you for the pastelli recipe! (but, please, more bouzouki, less tarantella...)
How much sesame seeds?????
All of the measurements are on www.dimitradsihes.com. My more recent episodes have the exact ingredients along with the recipe in the description box.
Thought you weren’t supposed to heat honey
Gluten free Baklava 😆
Granola bars do not require oats. Using honey it will stay fresh so very much longer like almost forever. It is very hard to score pick so it doesn't harden up the candy ever. I just purchased a new unfiltered raw honey that was 16 oz not 40 oz is like I usually get. This recipe is going to take just about all of my honey.
That should say Hydroscopic. I voice type a hundred percent of the time and the words are all correct when I hit the send Arrow but something happens when the message goes through and gets printed. Half of the words are wrong and I can't go through and fix every message at that point. I fix them before I send them.
Boiling honey is never advised.

I'll try this without cooking the honey. It's not safe to eat cooked honey, also I don't see the purpose in cooking it.
Trying to search for a animator but found this
Honey becomes toxic when you heat it !
Honey does NOT become toxic upon direct heating-or indirect, for that matter.
Heating is done to “pasteurized” honey to lessen the risk that harmful bacteria may have been introduced through handling. Heating honey makes it become less viscous, so honey packagers will heat honey so that it will better flow in delivery pipes and through spigots and into the bottles or jars.
This commercial heating does nothing at all to make the honey more toxic, but it does alter the honey a bit by driving off delicate aromatics and flavoring agents. Uncooked honey simply tastes better.
Even cooked, honey can contain endospores of bacteria that can cause botulism. The concentration of these endospores is very, very low, so an healthty adult has no trouble handling any spores or emerged bacteria that might occur upon ingestion. Infants under the age of 1 year or so do not have a sufficiently robust immune defense against this bacteria and might be harmed by them, so we explain that babies and children under 1-year should not be given honey…just in case.
Cooking with honey produces some of the most wonderfully sweet food made around the world…and none of them become toxic by heating the honey.
I would be quite interested in where you heard or read that heating honey (directly…whatever that distinction actually means) causes it to become toxic. Seriously-i am interested and ask that you make a comment in your original question or here, below my

Please don't torch your hair when cooking 😊
Sugar is sugar. Honey acts exactly the same in your body as white table sugar. Honey is not a healthy food. It is delicious, sure, but it is not healthy. Don't delude yourself.
