Νόστιμο!!!!!!!!!!!

[@everydaythesame9141]

Εγώ το έκανα ρε φίλε..αλλά το σουσάμι δε βγήκε και πολύ σέξυ..

[@miahadzihasanovic6210]

Omg my kids are going to love this, and they kan take it to school. Thank you

[@GuilleBiochemist]

Hi Akis, when I put the finished pasteli on the waxed paper, I was not able to detach it afterwards. What might have happened? I tried detaching it when it was warm, when totally cold, and still no luck. Seems like I will not be able to enjoy it even though it smells and tastes great. Thanks for your help!

[@justinread4381]

You never fail to put the passion into your food. Keep it up.

[@germanrodriguez4091]

Wow!! Here in Puerto Rico sesame candy bars similar to pasteli are very popular and cherished❤

[@rachelasoulin1161]

Ohhh! My favorite snack bar when I travel in Greece 💗

[@snezmil]

Love the idea using lemon leaves as little plates :)

[@kekoc2080]

Thanks for sharing, it is healthy I would like to try. Greetings from Hong Kong. I hope to know more Greek food and culture:)

[@markusbaldingen7248]

Lovely Video... thanks!

[@joealtmaier9271]

Just made it. Pretty good! A nice chewy/crunch snack. Mix it thoroughly or there will be dry seeds that don't stick and get all over your shirt!

Yes! Galaktoboureko!!

[@vidyamenon5838]

We make this in India with jaggery (vegan version). Delicious! - till ladoos. I'm noticing a lot of similarities between Indian and Greek food..😅

[@sunset6010]

Interesting. I love Indian food too

[@NidzShah-ps6kr]

It's called chikki where I'm from, here in India. We also make these out of rice puffs, cashews and peanuts. So yummy!

[@Avacarho]

Happy Halloween, Akis! This is perfect for kids.

[@anastasiosmichaelkoutoumba9384]

Perfect Thank You

[@whatchef]

This is so good and perfect timing, I literally just filmed my own recipe for these yesterday and was editing right now lol. Yours are much better thou ha

[@juliaskordou544]

Love this!

[@katestephens7136]

A candy similar to this was my favorite as a child. My version does not have lemon in it but that sounds like a tasty addition.

[@shesmagic6584]

Looks soooo good!

[@BestIndianFoodBlog]

Another good video, thank you for sharing.

[@dineshvs30]

Wow, that is power packed ! We do have similar snacks back home in India. One friendly advice, you should be putting off the gas burner, as soon as you remove the pan. You can set example for all your viewers.

[@esophie3457]

Looks delicious 😋😋😋😋 Make some greek desserts😋😋

Love this! If I were to add nuts or dried fruit would it bind as well?

[@marzenienovinska4149]

sesame I like it 😋

[@harrinibajaj5583]

In ayurveda, we do not put honey on high heat as it's chemical properties or chain of molecules are disturbed and does not give the benefit. Honey can be in warm water, warm temperature. My question is this- how old this recipe is because this much i understand that Greek is a old civilization like India.

[@chrisperry8581]

Hey Akis, love the channel, been making loads of the dishes, did the chicken gyros last night. But please could you do a recipe for Halva ! I love the stuff but can’t find a good recipe anywhere 👍🏻

[@akispetretzikisen]

I have many recipes of halva. Check my website! akispetretzikis.com/en/categories/almyres-pites-tartes/spanakopita-me-feta#search/halva

[@christinejjones3068]

I love all your recipes... But I need something that I can take to a "potluck"... I think these Greek treats would be great... Stunting that doesn't have to be hot when u take it. Thanks!

[@olimazi9911]

Aki, how do you make the soft pasteli - I remember an old man selling this at the panigiria in Xios.

[@Madeleineadamp]

Arabs got this too and it’s very popular. Arabs and Greeks best friends.

[@conm87]

I’d love to see a traditional avgolemono (chicken)!

Yia sou Akis Well Done very impressive method. I want to ask you how much sesame and honey quantity was used … thank you Manoli

[@akispetretzikisen]

200 g sesame seeds and 200 g honey! 😉

[@lorrainefitzmaurice2753]

Nice video

[@BlackCrystal4You]

Akis! I hope you can help me! When i was with my greek family at the church, we ate some sort of sweet grain with raisins It's years ago, and my greek is just okay, but by far not good enough to ask them what it was or what it was called like. Do you know what i mean? What is its name? Maybe you even have a recepie? Thank you very much in advance! stay save with everything that is happening right now, and thank you, for your videos. Hearing your accent makes me feel home again

[@akispetretzikisen]

I have this recipe... akispetretzikis.com/en/categories/pswmia-zymes/atomika-stafidopswma

[@chloe_the_cat2831]

If it was wheat grains, maybe it was kolyva? It's traditionally given out after a service for someone who has passed. Boiled wheat, powdered sugar, nuts, raisins and other stuff. If this is what you remember, tell me and I'll find you a recipe.

[@SnrAlex]

Hi, can you cook greek stuffed calamari or greek oven roasted sardines?

[@akispetretzikisen]

You can check my website. akispetretzikis.com/en/categories/thalassina-psaria/kalamaria-gemista

[@BushImports]

That sound good, thanks Akis. Do the lemon tree leaves taste like lemon ? Do you have a recipe for Cavenders all purpose Greek seasoning? It says it's an ancient Greek formula and I use quite a bit of it, mostly on burgers. I will try to think of something good for you to cook.

[@mjrussell414]

L. J. Bush You know, I think they do because I was growing a lemon tree from seed (until I accidentally killed it) and when it shed leaves, I tore one and noticed they had a strong lemon smell. I didn't try to eat them though...

[@malv4935]

Hi Akis, this is a beautiful recipe, and we make something almost identical in India using sesame and jaggery (the purest form of sugar) (just Google 'til ke laddu'). I was wondering - if you're using raw, pure honey, it is so extremely nutritious and filled with great healing enzymes, but when you heat the honey on flame all these enzymes will be destroyed. Is there any other way to go about this recipe without heating the honey?

[@antoanetawill3862]

Very good question!

[@akispetretzikisen]

No you can't make this recipe with raw honey. It won't be pasteli.

[@malv4935]

REQUEST : Greek Tomato sauce (pasta, pizza, etc) Thank you !

[@YukiTheFluff]

Well, actually that's italian.

[@sunset6010]

@@YukiTheFluff Greek restaurants all over have these on the menu. Waaay BETTER than the Italian style

[@YukiTheFluff]

@@sunset6010 I'm not saying that the greek cuisine doesn't have tomato sauce, I'm just saying that Pizza and Pasta are typically italian dishes. I'm not sure if it is waaaay better. Both greek and italian food is delicious, so what's your point? Blaming one kitchen over another one? ^^

just for flavor! 😉😀

Bir Kıbrıslıda cıkıp demedi, aha bizim pastelli :D

[@georget.9496]

Say Akis love your channel, but I just have one question for you. I know honey is good for you and a super food, but does it still hold all its enzymes, vitamins and after you cook it for so long? I've been to several sites that say you ruin the honey by heating it more than 40c.

[@akispetretzikisen]

This is the only way you can make this...

[@snezmil]

I had the same question... How about using regular brown sugar with little bit of water (why not, if already we destroy almost all healthy ingredients in honey?) and after adding sesame into caramel and removing from heat, wait really shortly and then add a bit honey - it shouldn't change texture too much and might keep some healthy ingedients in honey (hopefully)

[@vicprezioso7592]

I don't think I moved fast enough when I made this with Klio Greek Fir Honey from Sparta. My pistelli came out rock hard, and I think the honey was too strong tasting.

[@klimtkahlo]

I love these. When I visited Turkey they called these “sex power”.

[@FlyingJustToFall]

How is this guilt free? Im trying to lose weight and i would never eat that much honey.

[@efstathioszavvos4878]

You're not supposed to eat a lot of this. They are quite healthy, but they're super heavy on calories not only because of the honey, but also because of the sesame. I usually eat 3-4 bites and they're perfect especially when you get cravings for sweets. They last pretty long in cling film.

[@akispetretzikisen]

You can eat one small piece...

[@CreepyHisoka]

sry akis but in my opinion you are way of on the honey, everything good that is in the honey will be gone once its boiled. so use the cheapest honey you can find and be cautios becuase those badboys are caloriebombs

[@FannyThiffault]

Hmmmm. Akis what a chef you are. But not vegan... haha. Because you ask, next recipe could be vegan not to hurt animals?🤔🙋😺🐝🐟🐥🐐🐖🐄
