Pistachio Baklava

[leslie_levine]

I don't know about you guys, but when I think of layers, I think of baklava. It's one of my favorite sweets (mostly because of the honey). I love all types of baklava, but after visiting Istanbul and tasting a pure pistachio version almost exactly a year ago, I can't have them any other way. I kind of botched this version up because I used toasted

Oh my goodness, that looks and sounds SO good. I never would have thought to use pistachios in baklava but now I have to try it!

My friend's mum makes the most amazing baklava ever, and seeing this post has made me want some D: they look delicious!

Baklava is AMAZING, I love it to bits. For me though it's cheaper than the ingredients to get it at the Turkish bakeries that are all dotted around here. <3

You had me at "turkish bakery." I'm coming to visit you.
:o)

Ooh, that looks wonderful. And I love that plate in your photo!

Thank you! I got it while in Istanbul last year. The colors there are so beautiful. :)

I thought that might be the case--that explains why the plate and the baklava look so perfect together. :)

Hahah, oh don't worry---by the end of the day my mom, dad and I had polished off 3/4 of the pan by ourselves. :) It's worth it!
