VEGAN BROWNIES WITH TAHINI AND HALVAH

Vegan Brownies With Tahini and Halvah image

It was said that the recipient of the very first batch of these brownies polished them off, alone, in one sitting. There is no proof of this. What we do know is that they are vegan, deeply dark and fudgy. The recipe, which is based on one in Amy Chaplin's cookbook, "At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen," uses everyday ingredients to reach that fudginess: olive oil (a proven amplifier of chocolate's complexity) and dates (to round out the bitterness of the cocoa powder, and to act as a binder). But tahini and halvah are the two surprise players here, taking the recipe in a rich direction. The tahini disappears into the brownies, making them shockingly moist, while the halvah lends something familiar and unexpected. Regular almonds are fine; Marconas are better. You could replace the spelt flour with all-purpose for a less savory, more traditional effect.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

4 ounces/115 grams pitted dates (2/3 cup packed)
2 cups/480 milliliters boiling water
3/4 cup/180 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups/270 grams spelt flour
3/4 cup/90 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/210 milliliters unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
3/4 cup/180 milliliters maple syrup
3/4 cup/120 grams coconut palm sugar (see Tip)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters tahini
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 ounces/115 grams vegan bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
3 ounces/90 grams vegan halvah (see Tip), finely crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
4 teaspoons white sesame seeds
1/2 cup/70 grams finely chopped toasted Marcona almonds or roasted cashews
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

Place dates in a medium heatproof bowl and pour boiling water on top to cover. Let soak until dates are softened, about 20 minutes, then drain well.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper; brush paper and sides of pan lightly with olive oil and set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large bowl; whisk to combine and set aside.
Place drained dates, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, tahini, vanilla, fine sea salt and 3/4 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend until smooth. Pour into the sifted flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate and halvah. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer using an offset or rubber spatula. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, then almonds.
Bake until edges pull away from the sides of the dish and a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely. Refrigerate until cold and firm before cutting. Bring to room temperature before eating, or enjoy them cold, straight out of the fridge.

HALVAH

Halvah image

Wheels of halvah - a soft, fudgelike candy made out of sesame paste - is an iconic sight in Middle Eastern markets. But it's also extremely easy to make at home, as long as you have access to a good brand of tahini (the only ingredient should be sesame seeds) and a candy thermometer. This recipe is adapted from the cookbook "Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking," by the chef Michael Solomonov. Eat it on its own cut into little pieces with a cup of tea, or dip cubes of it in chocolate and top with sesame seeds to serve as an elegant confection at the end of a fancy dinner party.

Time 20m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
Zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 cups tahini
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

Line an 8- x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine sugar, vanilla seeds and lemon zest with 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Allow mixture to simmer into a syrup, without stirring, until temperature registers 245 degrees on candy thermometer.
While syrup is cooking, place tahini and salt in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle. Beat on medium speed. Carefully stream syrup into tahini with mixer running. Mix until syrup is incorporated and mixture begins to pull away from sides of bowl, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to overmix. The halvah texture should be fudgelike, not sandy.
Working quickly with a heatproof spatula, transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Place another piece of parchment on top and use your hands on top of the parchment to smooth out halvah. Cool completely to room temperature and cut into squares. Store at room temperature, well wrapped in plastic, for a week.
