Cuisine: Caribbean
Ingredients: 1 cup White sesame seeds; 3/4 cup Brown sugar; 1/2 tsp Fresh ginger, grated

The sesame seed brittle that rattles in paper bags at Dominican and Puerto Rican corner stores. Toasted sesame seeds are folded into hot caramelized sugar with a whisper of ginger, poured thin, and cracked into shards once cool. Nutty, crunchy, barely sweet — one shard leads immediately to another.

Melt brown sugar in the same pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until fully liquefied and amber.
3
Add ginger and sesame seeds immediately. Stir quickly to combine — work fast.
4
Pour onto a parchment-lined tray and spread as thin as possible with the back of a spoon.
5
Leave to cool completely (15 minutes) then break into irregular shards.
