Baklava With Pistachio Nuts
Ingredients
- 500 grams puff pastry (freezer)
- Aluminium foil
- 125 grams butter
- 250 grams hazelnuts
- 75 grams pistachio nuts
- 75 grams almonds
- 250 grams honey
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- Juice of half a lemon
Directions
Preparation time: 1 ½ hour.
Baking time: 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Follow the instructions on the packing to allow the puff pastry to thaw. Cover an oven dish with aluminium foil. Grease the foil well. Melt the butter. Roll out every pastry sheet until it is twice the size of the dish. Divide every pastry sheet in half. Chop the hazelnuts, pistachio nuts and almonds into small pieces. Mix them well. Put a sheet of pastry in the oven dish, spread it with melted butter and sprinkle some of the nut mix over it. Repeat this sequence until every pastry sheet and all of the nut mix are used. Close it off with a final sheet of pastry. Put the oven dish into the oven; bake for 15 minutes on the bottom of the oven and for 30 minutes in the middle of the oven.
Heat the honey in a pan and mix the lemon and orange juice through the warm honey. Remove the oven dish from the oven and cut the Baklava into square pieces. Pour the honey syrup over the Baklava and leave it to absorb for an hour. Serve the Baklava with tea.
