Ingredients

  • 15g/1oz shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts
  • 40g/1½oz strong white flour, sifted
  • 40g/1½oz unsalted butter, diced
  • 40g/1½oz freshly grated parmesan
  • a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • seasoning

Instructions

  • Equipment and preparation: A large baking sheet, lightly greased.
  • Start by chopping the pistachio nuts in a mini chopper quite small. Then mix them with all the remaining ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Rub the ingredients together until the mixture starts to form fairly large clumps, then press the mixture against the side of the bowl to bring it together.
  • Now transfer the dough to a board and knead lightly, then roll into a sausage shape about 18cm/7in long and wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. After that slice the chilled log into discs about 0.5cm/½in wide and spread them out on the baking sheet.
  • Then pop them in the oven on the centre shelf and bake for 13-15 minutes, until they start to go golden around the edges. When they are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool and store in an airtight tin.
