Sesame hearts with nuts and dried fruits

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 5 art. l. vegetable oil
• 250 g sesame seeds
• 1-2 tbsp. l. lemon juice
• a pinch of salt
• a handful of raisins
• 10 dates
• 200 g roasted cashews
• 8-10 pcs. dried apricots
• 2-3 lemon slices
• honey to taste

Cooking

Step 1

Sift flour into a bowl, add sugar, salt, vegetable oil, eggs and mix thoroughly until smooth.

Step 2

Add sesame seeds to the resulting mass and mix thoroughly. Let the mass rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Using a mold, form hearts about 1 cm thick. Transfer the hearts to a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven in the "bottom-up" mode at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 15 minutes. If there is no such mode, the sesame base will need to be turned over manually after 7-8 minutes. Make sure the sesame hearts do not dry out.

Step 4

In a blender, mix raisins, dried apricots, pitted lemon slices, pitted dates, a handful of cashews until smooth. In the resulting mass, add honey to taste (if necessary) and mix thoroughly again.

Step 5

Cover the finished hearts with a mass of dried fruits, decorate with cashew nuts on top.
