ALMOND AND SESAME BRITTLE

Boulokonio, our beloved Sephardic almond and sesame brittle, is one of those sweets, ‘dulses,’ that transports me back to my Rodesli childhood. Made with toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and caramelized sugar this handcrafted golden confectionwith its nutty taste is irresistible.

This recipe passed down through generations with roots reaching back to Medieval Spain, has been a favorite offeringespecially at holidays, as a symbol of sweetness and abundance.

For me, each bite is more than a treat, it’s a taste of memory, resilience, and the journey that carried our traditions from Iberia to Rhodes and into our kitchens today.
