Chef Sergio Helman Shares Classic Sabrina Dessert Recipe on Israeli TV

Chef Sergio Helman will appear on the Israeli cooking show "Shabbat Flavors" with Avi Levi this Friday, where he will share his extensive culinary journey spanning four decades, which began in Argentina and continued in Israel. Just one week after arriving in Israel, Helman found himself amidst the bustling Carmel Market in Tel Aviv. During the show, the two chefs will prepare a traditional dessert called Sabrina soaked in rum syrup and topped with whipped cream, presented in a homemade version accessible to all.

The recipe involves making a dough from flour, dry yeast, sugar, eggs, water, oil, salt, and lemon zest, which is then left to rise before baking at 170 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. The rum syrup is prepared by gently boiling water, sugar, orange peel, and rum for five minutes. The warm Sabrina pastries are dipped in the lukewarm syrup, drained, and served generously topped with whipped cream. This nostalgic dessert is noted for its airy texture and rich flavors, making it a simple yet impressive treat to prepare at home.

Helman's appearance on "Shabbat Flavors" highlights his culinary expertise and offers viewers a chance to recreate a classic dessert with a personal touch, connecting traditional flavors with home cooking.
