GREEK PASTELI (SESAME SEED & HONEY SNACKS)
While in Greece I saw this "candy" that I loved from childhood...little bites of sesame and honey that were soft because they did not have any sugar. Inspired, I set out to see if I could buy them in the US but found instead that they are incredibly easy to make! So here is a recipe adapted from one found on www.globalgourmet.com. Each bar is 30 grams, which is a typical food bar you would get in the health food store.

Steps:
- In a heavy pan, bring the honey and water to "firm ball stage" (130 degrees C/250 degrees F).
- Take off the heat and stir in the sesame seeds and lemon zest.
- On a flat marble surface (or metal trays moistened with water, or a layer of parchment) spread the mixture evenly with a spatula or knife (or try a rolling pin) to 1 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
- Before it cools, cut into squares (try a pizza cutter).
- When it is completely cool, wrap the squares in waxed paper and store in a covered container.

- Toast the sesame seeds. You can spread them in a pan and put them in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or you can toast them in a pan. You want them to get a bit of color but not too brown.
- Pour the honey in medium sauce pan and heat the honey until it starts to bubble. Let it boil for 4-5 minutes. If you have a food thermometer, you boil until honey reaches a temperature of 250 F (125 C).
- Pour the toasted sesame seeds, lower the heat and stir. Making sure all ingredients are moxed well together. Heat the mixture for 2-3 minutes more (the more it cooks the crunchier it will be-but be careful of scorching). To check if it is ready, take a small amount and drop it in a glass with water, it should stay in a ball, if it spreads out it still needs to be heated.
- Line a pan with slight greased (I spray or brush with olive oil) wax paper or parchment paper and pour the sesame mixture, place another sheet of wax paper on top (also greased) and spread out the sesame-honey mix with a rolling pin. I prefer to do this step directly on the table instead of using a pan, that way I can spread as thin as I like (mine are rolled out to ¼ inch thick).
