"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Hilou Gamar Id-Din

 

Ingredients

200 g gamar id-din *
100 g sugar
1 tbsp cornflour starch
4 whole cardamom seeds
1 cup mixture of crushed walnuts, crushed, almonds, raisins,



 

Preparation

Apricot Paste Pudding

nuts, peeled pistachios, and a pinch of cinnamon

Dilute cornflour starch in 1/2 cup cold water and set aside. Soak
gamar id-din with the sugar in 2 cups boiling water for 2 hours, then
mash until no lumps are left. Place the gamar id-din mix in a
saucepan, add the cardamom seeds and bring rapidly to a boil while
stirring. As soon as it boils, lower the heat and slowly add the
diluted cornflour starch, stirring constantly. Allow it to reach
boiling point once again, then let it bubble for 2 or 3 minutes only.
As you feel the mix beginning to thicken, remove it from heat. Pour
into a serving dish or four individual bowls and chill. Serve cold,
topped with nut mixture.

* Gamar id-din: A paste made from cooked apricots. Unique to the
Middle East. Can be bought all over the world. Check with any good
food import store.
