Have you ever heard about Pasteli? We have never before written about something so healthy and tasty at the same time. Such a combination is really rare.
The recipe dates from 6000 years ago and it is mentioned in ancient Greece i.e. Near East. This specialty is known as pasteli, but some call it Greek breakfast.
This healing treat is actually mentioned in Homer’s ILIAD under the name of Intrion. It is probably the most tasteful recipe you will ever try which in the same time has healing characteristics.
In Homer’s Iliad, intrion or pasteli is given to the Helens-warriors before battle so that they could have the energy for tough efforts and fight. Pasteli is also mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings where women used it for stimulation of hormonal glands. The famous Greek writer and ‘’father’’ of history, Heradot, in his writings had called pasteli a cure and a delight in the same time.

The original recipe for Pasteli:
Ingredients:
300 grams of tahini (a paste from ground sesame)
300 grams of natural honey
Important: In the shops for healthy foods you can find already made tahini. Or you can do it on your own if you have the time and a good blender.
For a good tahini paste, you need raw peeled sesame seeds and oil as much as you wish (usually 2 spoons of oil go with one or half cup of seeds, depending on how thick you want the mixture-either sesame, olive or sunflower oil). Lightly fry the seeds in a frying pan without adding oil until it gets a golden color (5-10 minutes of constant stirring). Be careful that the sesame does not burn because it will become bitter. When they become cold, put them in a blender and add olive oil and blend until you get the paste with the wanted thickness (you can add more olive oil if you want to).
Usage:
Pasteli with pistachio and almond
Mix these two ingredients in a bowl. Before you put them in a bowl, put the oil that gathered on the top of the bowl with the tahini. What is interesting is that both of the components are liquid but when they are well mixed, they become a mixture similar to plasticine. During the blending you can add a handful of walnuts, almonds, pistachios or hazelnuts if you want. Some people bake the mixture which we do not recommend in anyway because it will lose all of the essential ingredients and the flavor itself.

Make beads or any form you find interesting. Roll these beads in whole sesame seeds. Then, put the beads on a platter and in the fridge. Pasteli is kept in the fridge, and as a cure or a treat it is needed to eat 2-3 beads a day. However, that would not be easy once you taste how delicious they are. Be careful because this is an energetic ‘’bomb’’.
