EASY PERSIAN PISTACHIO ECLAIRS

Eclairs are one of the most iconic and tempting treats in French patisserie. Made with a light shell of choux pastry and filled with mouth-watering pistachio cream, my simple Persian pistachio eclairs are a true delight for all the senses. In this blog post, we dive into the fascinating world of eclairs and discover why they are so special. The name “eclair” means ” flash” in French, which refers to the quick preparation and lightning-fast eating of this delicious pastry. Eclairs were first served in the famous Parisian patisseries and have become a symbol of French elegance and enjoyment.

The idea to create Easy Persian Pistachio Eclairs came from my love of French patisserie and my fascination with the flavors of Persian cuisine. The combination of delicate choux pastry filled with a creamy pistachio filling, topped with fresh raspberries, and chopped pistachios, and decorated with a hint of white chocolate is an homage to the rich culinary tradition of Persia. If you like eclairs, I have more recipes here and here.

The pistachio has a long and fascinating history dating back to ancient times. It originated in Central Asia and was spread to all parts of the world by travelers and traders. The Persians prized the pistachio thousands of years ago and called it the ” Queen of Nuts.” The pistachio came from there to Europe via the trade routes, where it quickly gained popularity and found its way into the kitchens of many cultures.

The pistachio is not only delicious but also suitable for cooking. You can eat pistachios raw, roasted, salted, ground, or made into oil. Its characteristic green color and nutty flavor add a special touch to a variety of dishes, from savory to sweet. Whether in pastries, madeleines, ice cream, salads, soups, Tiramisu, pestos, or as a topping for desserts – pistachios add a unique and delicious touch to any dish.

Pistachios offer a range of health benefits in addition to the delicious taste. They are rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals such as vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, iron, and magnesium.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool down.

PREPARATION PISTACHIO CREAM

Mix the pistachios with 1 tbsp powdered sugar and 80 ml whipping cream in a blender for 5 minutes to form a paste.
Heat the remaining whipping cream in a pan, and add the chopped white chocolate. Note: Do not boil! Heat at medium temperature until the chocolate has melted. Mix well together with the pistachio paste in a blender. Place the pistachio cream in the fridge for 1 hour and leave to cool. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe into the chilled eclairs.
