What is Pistachio muska pestil?
Pistachio muska pestil is a Turkish sweet made by folding dried fruit pulp into small triangular parcels around a pistachio filling. Pestil is traditionally prepared from fruit such as mulberries, spread thinly and dried; the filling gives this version a nutty contrast to its concentrated fruit flavour.
The outer layer is pliable and chewy, while the pistachios add a little crunch. In Turkey, it is often served with tea, offered to guests or enjoyed as a small sweet between meals. Elsewhere, it works well as a portable treat alongside coffee or tea. It provides energy and some fibre; a medium piece is about 30 g, so one piece can make a satisfying portion.
