Fans
- 1 (1 pound) package Kataifi (can be found in most middle eastern, arab or greek grocery stores or markets)
- (2 sticks/8 oz./226g) butter or ghee , melted
- 1 ½ cups pistachios
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp butter softened
- 1 tsp rosewater (optional)
- Butter, for buttering the pan
- Syrup:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
- Make syrup:
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, the 1 1/2 cups sugar and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Let simmer to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat, let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Butter a 12-inch round, 2-inch high cake pan.
- In a large bowl gently loosen kataifi. Mix very well with the 1/2 pound of melted butter. Cover the cake pan with half of the kataifi. Press down lightly with a glass or a measuring cup.
- Mix the pistachios, sugar, butter and rosewater (if using) together and sprinkle evenly over the kataifi dough half. Cover with the remainig half of the kataifi. Press down gently. Drizzle 3 tbsp of the melted butter over the top. Bake until lightly golden, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Note: the reverse side will be more golden when you turn it out.)
- Immediately pour cold sugar syrup evenly over the hot kunafa. Let cool completely to room temperature. Invert onto serving plate and cut into squares.

Thank you, Ahmed. I haven't worked with the kataifi dough before. I even know where I can buy it here! I still have 2 pounds of raw pistachio nuts waiting for a recipe. I was going to use them in a basic baklava but I think I'll use them with your recipe instead. Thank you again for another recipe.

Kudos'again Ahmed! Ok this Katafi is a bit of a mystery? Could you please liken it to something for me? It looks like a buttery version of a sweet crust? Anything sweet with nuts is sure to please..Thanks,Kylie
