Baklava with Spiced Nuts & Chocolate 🥮

Forty layers of buttered filo around spiced walnuts and pistachios, soaked in lemon syrup until it shatters then melts. Istanbul's pastry shops have turned this into a competitive sport.

Zubereitung

  1. 1

    Make the syrup: dissolve sugar in water over low heat, boil 15 minutes, add a few drops of lemon juice and simmer slightly; cool completely.

  2. 2

    Pulse walnuts, pecans and almonds with cinnamon and cardamom to a coarse crumb.

  3. 3

    Brush a tray with butter, layer half the filo sheets (each brushed with butter), scatter the nuts, then cover with the remaining filo, buttering each sheet.

  4. 4

    Cut into diamonds, bake at 170°C for 40-45 minutes until deep gold, then pour cold syrup over the hot baklava and rest 4 hours; finish with pistachios.
