How to Make Baked Peaches With Pistachio Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup pistachios and 4 digestive biscuits.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios and biscuits with 1/4 cup slivered almonds, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon orange blossom water (or rose water). Mix until a paste forms.
  4. Gently fill the cavity of 6 ripe peaches with the pistachio-almond mixture. Arrange the peaches snugly in a medium-sized baking dish.
  5. Prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup honey with 300ml water. Add 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 strips of orange zest. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water (or rose water).
  7. Pour the warm syrup evenly around the peaches in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender but hold their shape, basting occasionally with the syrup.
  9. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or fromage frais.
