Ingredients
- ¼ cup pistachios roasted salted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- ¼ cup superfine granulated sugar or caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolved and the mixture is boiling.
- Continue cooking the sugar for about 10 minutes as it begins to turn a light golden colour. Once it reaches a caramel shade, remove from the heat and add the chopped pistachios, stirring to coat the nuts.
- Pour the mixture out onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper over a heat proof tray, spreading with a spatula so that you have a small sheet of caramel coated nuts.
- Allow to cool until hardened and then break into chunks for serving.
