Pasteli with Toasted Sesame and Orange-Scented Honey

Preheat oven to 325 deg F (165 deg C).

In a small mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, oats, and slivered almonds.

Warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it is fluid and aromatic. Stir in a pinch of fresh orange zest.

Pour the honey over the dry mixture and stir until every grain is evenly coated and tacky.

Press the mixture firmly into a small, parchment-lined baking dish to form a compact layer about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the mixture smells toasted and nutty.

Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan to set properly. Once firm, cut into two thin, elegant bars. Serve alongside a small wedge of orange for a bright, traditional finish.
