Baklava, as you know, traditionally has pistachios. My partner is allergic to pistachios, but tried a baklava at a restaurant that by complete coincidence didn’t use pistachios in their recipe. He fell in love with the dessert, but quickly found he couldn’t order it anywhere else in our town because they all had the green nut. Tragically, this restaurant shut down and the next closest location was a 6 hour drive. (Which we made for the sake of baklava. Twice.)
I’ve always been too intimidated to try to make it for him. But I’m gonna give it a shot. What does pistachio bring to the table, and what nut(s) should I use to replace them? (Also if you have any baklava first timer tips or favorite recipes please share them! I’m gonna read a bunch of recipes to figure out the best way to do this to a restaurant standard)
Edit: oh, it slipped my mind to mention he’s also allergic to cashews.
