A delivery came from Bronte yesterday, from Tipici e Food, the place we visited in June. We ran out of everything we bought there long time ago, but signor Antonio ships his quality pistachios all over Europe ( apart from the UK, he said, too expensive after Brexit). So we now have a lovely stash of the most fantastic pistachio products and also 2 bottles of this delicious liquor, quite evil, when one tries to have alcohol free weekdays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been looking for a nice recipe for a good pistachio cake, where I could use some of the ground pistachios I just received. So many food blogs out there, not all for me. When I’m after a recipe I don’t want to spend 5 minutes scrolling down somebody’s bloody life story. I don’t want to keep reading if the recipe is written for mentally challenged and explains in details, that they want me to use 2 whole eggs, which means 2 yolks and 2 whites. Next!!! The recipe for pistachio cake which recommends using a green food colourant – no. Why?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finally settled this morning on a recipe that called for no butter, no artiticial colouring, tweaked it just a touch and I’ve just finished my first piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve had a packet of ground, raw pistachios, which I’ve gently toasted on the frying pan, I used 60g. 150g of plain flour, 1 1\/2 tsp of baking powder, 1\/2 tsp of baking soda, a pinch of salt. 2 whole eggs I whipped with 120g of sugar, less that in the recipe, some of it was vanilla sugar. Some grated lemon zest went in and a tiny bit of cinnamon. The toasted pistachios. 150g of greek yoghurt and 150 ml of olive oil, all nicely combined, onto the lined baking tray. 175 degrees, 30 minutes, done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once cooled I tipped a small jar of pistachio cream from Bronte, which was perfectly sweet and had great consistency to spread, so I didn’t have to mess about with the original recipe’s ideas of dilluting it with water and adding sugar. A final sprinkling of ground pistachio completed the picture. Might share some with Lara. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n A delivery came from Bronte yesterday, from Tipici e Food, the place we visited in June.
