I've recently rediscovered halvah.
Although it's been around for years, I've taken a fresh look at this Middle Eastern confection. The kind that I buy is the marbled sesame/chocolate halvah. It's is made with a base of Tahini, mixed with honey
and kneaded into a tacky dough which is allowed to set before being cut and
served, or wrapped.
Some consider it candy but it's so much healthier--an eight-ounce bar of plain halvah is about eight percent protein and is rich in omega-9 fatty acids, copper, iron, magnesium and calcium!
