About this dish
The thin phyllo shatters at the edges, while the ground pistachio rolled up inside soaks up cool syrup and stays moist and green.

The syrup is made first, because it has to be completely cool before it goes over the baked rolls.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Heat the water and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the syrup boils, then remove from the heat.
Stir in the lemon juice and cool for at least about 30 minutes, until no longer warm.
- 2
Melt the clarified butter over low heat and let it cool until no longer hot.
Preheat to 180°C and divide the pistachios into three portions.
- 3
Stack two sheets, brush the top with a thin layer of butter and scatter one portion of pistachios evenly over it.
Roll tightly from a long edge to form a thin roll about 40 cm long.
- 4
Cut the roll into ten pieces about 4 cm long and place in a metal pan.
Repeat with the other four sheets for 30 pieces total and pour the remaining butter evenly over them.
- 5
Bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes until the thin pastry is cooked and its edges lightly colored.
Wait 10 minutes out of the oven, pour the fully cooled syrup evenly over the pieces and rest about 30 minutes to absorb. Serve three pieces per portion.
