Pasteli- Ancient Greek Candy Bars

Ancient Greek candy bars, made of sesame seeds and honey. I made them vegan and used agave syrup instead of honey.

Ingredients:

• 200 g of sesame seeds
• 60 g of agave syrup
• zest of half lemon
• a teaspoon of cinnamon
• a teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 3 cloves
• a pinch of salt

Preparation:

1. Heat up a pan over medium heat and toast sesame seeds until golden. Remove it off the stove and set aside.
   
2. Heat up agave syrup with the spices. Remove from heat and take out the cloves.
   
3. Slowly add sesame seeds and mix it until all the seeds are covered with syrup.
   
4. Spread the mixture on a baking paper about 0.5 cm thick. Leave it to set in the freezer for one hour.
   
5. Cut it into any shape you like. Keep it in an airtight container, between the layers of baking paper in a cold place.
