Recipe - Foosteeyeah (sesame and peanut slice) by Nouha Taouk




 This recipe is from Nouha Taouk’s Whispers from a Lebanese Kitchen

Ingredients
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 1 kilogram raw peanuts with no skin (you can use any nuts. I used almonds this time as you can see)
  • 500 gram Sesame seeds
  • 500 gram Honey
  • 2 table spoon icing sugar
Method

  • Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C
  • Place the peanuts on two standard sized baking trays and roast for 15 – 20 mins.
  • Keep an eye on them and toss as they need to be roasted on all sides
  • Meanwhile toast the sesame seeds in a non-stick frying pan. Constantly stir until golden brown
  • Place sesame seeds and peanuts in a large bowl
  • Put the honey and icing sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and combined
  • Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Cook until the mixture reaches 116C on a candy thermometer (or, softball stage).
  • Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and seeds.
  • Working quickly stir to combine then pour into a prepared (greased and lined) tray
  • With the back of a spoon, press the top of the mixture to spread it out evenly.
  • Set aside to cool for 2-3 hours
  • Cut into squares and serve
