DATE AND HONEY QURSAS ADAPTED FROM HUICI’S TRANSLATION
OF ANÓN AL-ANDALUS #466 DULCE DE DÁTILES Y MIEL, p 255
Ingredients
1 lb dates
1 lb honey
¼ c walnuts
canola oil
Preparation
Remove pits from dates. Pound them in a mortar. Put them in a pot and cover with water. Slowly bring to a boil. Add honey. Stir until a thick syrup results. Add coarsely chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture it over a heat resistant surface greased with canola oil. With it you make qursas (round cakes). Cut it with
a knife in big or little pieces.
As the mixture was so soft, the first time balls were formed like bonbons.

Let the mass cool. Then roll it out and cut into squares. Sprinkle with flour.
Of the two adaptions, the latter is the richer and tastier.
