These little sweets are both beautifully coloured and quite nice to eat but oh so fat! But I am of the opinion that it does not hurt to eat sweet and fat things now and then if you eat a little of them. And not too often. Why deprive myself of nice things, why renounce a lot of things if I am going to die anyway? This does not mean that gorging oneself is ok, I just want to stud my life with little jewels like this because it can be heavy enough to live anyway...
PISTACHIO MARZIPAN WITH DARK CHOCOLATE
100 g/ 3,5 oz pistachio nuts, unshelled
25 g/0,9 oz sugar
High quality dark chocolate
- Bring salted water to the boil and let the nuts boil for 30 seconds, in this way the brilliant green colour remains.
- Rinse them immediately in cold water and remove the skin from the nuts so that only the green nut remains.
- Put the nuts and the sugar in a blender and run until it has become a homogenous paste.
- Now you can mould the paste into different shapes but do not make them too big as they easily break then.
- Melt the chocolate and dip the pistachio marzipan pieces into it. Put them to ”solidify” either in room temperature or in the fridge.
- Eat!

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
