About the Recipe
These canapés are excellent to make and bake ahead of time, you can even freeze the dough rolled into a sausage shape, wrapped in clingfilm and a freezer bag, ready to take out as and when you desire something a little special. These Pistachio and Parmesan Sables are to die for, so light and buttery with a tremendous cheesy flavour.
Ingredients
35g shelled, Pistachio Nuts
80g strong Plain Flour
80g unsalted Butter, diced
80g freshly grated Parmesan
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt & freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preparation
Start by chopping the pistachio nuts in a mini chopper quite small
Then mix them with all the remaining ingredients in a medium-sized bowl
Rub the ingredients together until the mixture starts to form fairly large clumps, then press the mixture against the side of the bowl to bring it together
Now transfer the dough to a board and knead lightly, then roll into a sausage shape about 18cm long and wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes
Preheat the oven to 180°C
After that slice the chilled log into discs about 5mm wide and spread them out on the baking sheet
Then pop them in the oven on the centre shelf and bake for 13–15 minutes, until they start to go golden around the edges
When they are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool and store in an airtight tin
