RECIPE: Baklava

Here's another recipe that's great for the the Noche Buena feast shared by The Maya Kitchen and Chef George Lizares of the LJC Group of Restaurants . I had my first taste of baklava at the Salcedo Market years ago. Its a filo pasty filled with minced nuts. Its really quite good albeit expensive since you need pistachio and walnuts. I think you can tweak the recipe a bit. ;)

Freshly made baklava was one of Larry’s favorite desserts and he enjoyed it with vanilla ice cream.  It’s a simple but elegant dish fit for a king.
