[:en]When we get a craving for something sweet, we immediately reach for sweets full of additives and sugar that do damage to our body in the long term. This is logical, given that today’s accelerated pace of life leaves little time to prepare home-made cakes and healthy desserts. However, if you care about your health, you will find the time for quick, fresh and, above all, healthy dessert snacks that you will surely consume without guilt. We bring you an ultra quick and sweet recipe for all ages. It is a treat from ancient Greece and the Middle East, which is more than 6000 years old and which warriors consumed for strength before going into battle and the women in order to stimulate their hormonal glands. Pastel or intrion is the name of the candy, made from only two ingredients, honey and sesame, and full of vitamins and minerals. Its benefits are that it regulates fat in the blood, contains antioxidants, reduces the feeling of depression, improves mood, reduces stress and provides energy. For its preparation, you need 300 g of honey and 300 g of tahini paste, i.e. a paste made from ground sesame seeds, which you then stir together, shape into balls and put them in the freezer to cool.
Bon apetit!
P.S. You can make your own tahini paste – all you need are peeled and raw sesame seeds and sesame oil (two teaspoons of oil per half to one cup of seeds). Toast the seeds in a pan until they are lightly browned and then grind them in a blender, adding oil until you get a thick paste.[:hr]Kada nas uhvati želja za slatkim, posegnemo za kupovnim slatkišima punim aditiva i šećera koji dugoročno štete našem organizmu.

Donosimo vam jedan ultra brzi i zamamni recept za sve uzraste. Radi se o poslastici iz stare Grčke i Bliskog istoka, staroj preko 6000 godina, koju su ratnici konzumirali za snagu prije odlaska u borbu a žene su njime stimulirale hormonalne žlijezde. Pasteli ili intrion naziv je kolača koji se radi od samo dva sastojka, meda i sezama, a prepun je vitamina i minerala. Njegove blagodati su da regulira masnoću u krvi, sadrži antioksidanse, smanjuje osjećaj depresije, popravlja raspoloženje i smanjuje stres te daje energiju.

P.S. Za izradu domaće tahini paste potrebne su vam oljuštene i sirove sjemenke sezama te sezamovo ulje (dvije žličice ulja idu na pola do jednu šalicu sjemenki). Prepržite sjemenke u tavi do zlatnožute boje a potom ih sameljite u blenderu dodajući ulje dok ne dobijete gustu smjesu.
