Arabian Pineapple Compote
A fragrant, light dessert rich in essential minerals. A dream from a thousand nights.
Ingredients
- 1 baby pineapple
- 300 g apples (2 apples)
- 3 drops rose water
- liquid sweetener (to taste)
- 4 tbsp liquid honey
- 1 packet saffron strands
- 500 g yogurt (1.5% fat)
- 40 g almonds (2 tbsp)
- 30 g Pistachios (2 tbsp)
- 1 handful unspritzed organic rose petals
Instructions
-
1.
Peel the pineapple, quarter it, remove the core and dice the fruit flesh into small cubes.
-
2.
Wash and dry the apples, peel if desired. Quarter them, core them, and dice the flesh similarly.
-
3.
Place the pineapple and apple cubes in a small pot, cover, and steam over medium heat for 15–20 minutes.
-
4.
Season the compote with rose water and, if desired, a splash of sweetener. Transfer to glasses and refrigerate.
-
5.
Rinse the pot. Warm 2 tbsp honey and saffron strands gently – this releases the saffron’s flavor better. Stir in the yogurt.
-
6.
Coarsely chop almonds and pistachios with a large knife and mix them with the remaining honey in a small bowl.
-
7.
Spread the saffron yogurt over the compote, top with the chopped nuts, and garnish with rose petals before serving.
