Turkish baklava

A comforting Middle Eastern classic that brings together tender veal, fresh green fava beans, and a rich, creamy yogurt sauce. Slow-cooked in our Gold Medal ghee and finished with a fragrant garlic and coriander tasha.

Ingredients

  • Fresh or ready-made phyllo dough
    (I prefer the fresh one, but it’s hard to find)
  • 1 cup ground pistachios
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pistachios
  • Gold Medal Ghee
  • 3 cups sugar (or 2 cups if you want it lighter)
    2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon orange blossom water or rose water. 

Gold Medal ghee

Preparation

1. Take the dough out of the freezer ahead of time

2. Grease a baking pan

3. Melt Gold Medal Ghee in a pan and spreak the dough with it

4. Make layers of dough, ghee and pistachios

5. End with a layer of dough and lots of ghee

6. Put in the oven

7. For the syrup: put together the sugar and water in a small pot without stirring. Once it starts to boil, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Lower the heat and let boil for 7 minutes
