kosinilaki

Kosinilaki is a traditional Greek dish. It is a type of pastry, often made with semolina and honey. The texture is typically firm and slightly chewy, with a dense crumb. Kosinilaki is usually flavored with spices such as cinnamon and cloves, and sometimes includes nuts like walnuts or almonds. The sweetness comes primarily from honey, which is often drizzled over the top or incorporated into the dough.

The preparation involves boiling semolina and then mixing it with other ingredients. The mixture is then often pressed into molds or cut into small pieces and baked or sometimes fried. It is a popular dessert or sweet snack in various regions of Greece, particularly in areas with a strong tradition of pastry-making. The exact recipe and presentation can vary from family to family and from region to region, leading to slightly different interpretations of the dish. It is often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. The name "kosinilaki" itself suggests a connection to a specific type of sweet or pastry.
