 Ingredients List

  • 1 1/2 c Oil *
  • 1 1/2 c Orange juice *
  • 1 1/2 c Sugar
  • 2 tb Brandy (or slightly more)
  • 1 ts Baking soda
  • 1 ts Cinnamon
  • 1 ts Ground cloves
  • 1/2 c Walnuts
  • 1/2 c Raisins
  • 600 g Flour
  • A few sesame seeds
  • A little oil

 Directions

*[NOTE: Original recipe calls for "1-1/2 glasses of oil and 1-1/2 glasses
of orange juice". No mention of what size glass, as is typical of Greek
cookbooks.]

Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar. Dissolve the soda with the
brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the ground
cloves. Then very gradually add the flour, stirring constantly. Finally,
combine the walnuts and the raisins with the mixture. Coat a medium-sized
baking tin to spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and
bake for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve into oblong pieces.
