Scroll down for Recipe in English

Da se malo prošetamo do Arapskih zemalja. Jedan od važnih sastojaka u njihovoj kuhinji su i urme. I naravno tahini. Jako mi se dopao ovaj kolač i uopšteno ideja kako da se umesto ogromnih količina šećera koristi npr sirup od datula. Velo je jednostavan da se napravi i pored slatkoće daje i svoju posebnu aromu kolačima koje pravite.

Priprema

Sirup od urme

20 do 25 suvih urmi, bez koštica
3 šolje vode


Priprema

Urme stavimo u vodu i pustimo da prokuvaju. Ako su urme veoma suve, prethodno ih potopimo u hladnu vodu i ostavimo da malo nabubre (oko 1 sat)
Ako se počnu peniti skinemo penu.
Varjačom redovno promešamo i gnječimo.Posle oko 15 minuta skinemo sa šporeta

Za ovo vam je potrebno ili jako sitno sito, kao što sam ja koristila ili ako imate krupnije obložite ga gazom.

Sada pritiskamo urme i cedimo sok iz njih.

Vratimo na šporet i krčkamo redovno mešajuči još nekih 20 minuta , kada će se sirup ugustiti.

Tahini and Dates syrup Cake

I quite like Middle Eastern cuisine. The smells that go through the house makes you feel like flying on a magic carpet.
I also liked discovering this date syrup which I made and will keep making it, to be able to reduce the amount of sugar in baking. Not only is it very sweet, but so easy to make.
Dates syrup


Ingredients

• 20 – 25 dates, pitted
• 3 cups of water

Create

Put the dates and water in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat to bring to a boil. Then turn the heat down to med-low and allow the mixture to simmer. If you see foam appearing on the top, skim it off (same thing you do when making soup stock or jam). Using a wooden spoon, mix occasionally and smash the dates with the back of the spoon. After about 15 minutes of simmering, take it off the heat and let it cool.

Now set your strainer lined with cheesecloth on the top of the bowl and pour the mixture through. Use the wooden spoon to push much of the liquid out of the dates. Then wrap the cheesecloth around the date mixture and wring it out as you can.The liquid will keep coming. Don’t leave any behind.

Now put it back on a stove and stir occasionally till ith thickens and gets desired sweetness.
