It just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t include a recipe with a Macedonian twist. Being from Macedonian heritage, my mum used to make baklava all the time. My daughter Kiki is a huge fan of these (and I love them with my old Macedonian coffee). Make sure you find out the school nut policy before packing these.
TIPS
• These will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days.
• Remember to make sure your kid’s school allows nuts before packing these in the lunchbox.
Vego/vegan
To make these vegan, swap out the honey for maple syrup.
These are super easy – you just need a good food processor to make this recipe rock.
First, put the 50 g of extra pistachios into the food processor and whiz into a fine powder. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Now drop in the remaining ingredients and blitz for 60–90 seconds – we want a nice smooth finish, so blitz a little longer if needed to ensure the ingredients have blended well.
Using wet hands, roll the mixture into golf ball–sized balls and then roll them into the powdered pistachios. Pop the balls into an airtight container and refrigerate.
