Process the walnuts while leaving them somewhat coarse.
Toast the semolina in a dry pan for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Boil the granulated sugar and water in a pot for 8 minutes, until they become a thick syrup.
Mix the walnuts and toasted semolina in a wide bowl.
Add the hot syrup gradually and knead until the mixture becomes a paste.
Press the mixture into a mold lined with parchment paper and rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve the walnut semolina paste in small slices.
💡 Tip: Do not grind the walnuts into flour; leaving them slightly coarse gives the paste a cleaner texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cut the paste into diamond shapes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with unsweetened tea.
