Varvara

VarvaraIngredients:
½ kilo of wheat
1 cup of raisins
A few pomegranate seeds
½ kilo of sesame seeds (or tahini)
5-6 chickpeas (optional)
5-6 black beans (optional)
½ kilo of sugar
Cinnamon
Preparation:

Take off the heat and add the sesame seeds, having first oven cooked them for a while and grounded them. You can use the tahini instead of the sesame seeds, but first mix it with a little water. Once more place the pan on heat and bring to a boil. Serve and add sugar, as much as you like, add the pomegranate seeds and cinnamon.
Notes:We make this dessert in our village and in Kos Island in general on Saint Barbara’s Day on the 4th of December (it’s traditional).
