Lean semolina halva. Recipe

Have you ever tried halva made from... semolina? No? Then it's time to make it. This is a recipe from my childhood - my friend's mom always made semolina halva. However, her halva was made with cherry juice and walnuts, and my semolina halva is more modern - with coconut milk, passion fruit juice and pecans. However, any juice, nuts and dried fruits will do. The main thing about this halva is that it is lean!

YOU WILL NEED

• 250 grams of semolina
• 200 ml of coconut milk
• 50 ml of passion fruit juice (can be replaced with coconut milk or water)
• 50 grams of coconut oil
• 30 grams of white sugar (or cane sugar, honey, maple syrup)
• 50 grams of dried mango
• 50 grams of roasted pecans
• You can use any roasted nuts and candied fruits - raisins, dried apricots, dates, the weight should be 100 grams.

Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan, add the semolina, with constant stirring over a fire slightly above medium heat, fry the semolina for 3-5 minutes.
