Preparation

Mix together the water and sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 30 minutes to reduce to a syrup. Allow to cool.

Meanwhile, divide the fillo in half and cut into sheets to fit a pastry tin (ideally about 30 X 20 cm). Brush the bottom of the tin with melted butter and cover with a layer of filo.

Continue until you have used half the pastry. Cover with a thick layer of crushed pistachios and continue the pastry-butter process until the pastry is finished.

Score through the pastry layers carefully, making diamond shapes, about 6cm long.

Bake in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. While still hot, pour over the cooled syrup and set aside to cool before removing from the tray.

Zest

When removing the zest from an orange or a lemon, be sure to avoid as much of the pith (the white part) as possible. This is very bitter and will detract from the taste.

Rice Flour

Rice flour can be used to thicken soups and stews, as well as providing an alternative to wheat flour in cakes and biscuits.

Indian curries are flavoured with incredible complexity. To match the intensity of flavours try pairing one with James Squire I.P.A. (India Pale Ale). Robust, clean and hoppy, its traditions go back to the beer England exported to the Raj.
