Ingredients

INGREDIENTS GHORABIEH

  • 130 g blanched almonds
  • 20 g bitter almonds
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 2-3 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

TOPPING

  • 1-2 tbsp pistachio slivers
  • 1-2 tbsp almond slivers
  • 1-2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

PREPARATION GHORABIEH

  1. Preheat oven to 180°.

  2. Grind blanched and bitter almonds finely in a food processor.

  3. Beat two egg whites in a mixer, add ground almonds with caster sugar and continue beating for 10 – 15 minutes. Should the mixture be too firm, add the third egg whites first should the dough is too soft, add 1 -2 tbsps of ground almonds.

  4. Add baking powder and mix well.

  5. Fill the mixture into a piping bag and pipe as many even dots as possible on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Be sure to leave enough space between them, so they don’t stick together during baking, as they will come apart a bit.

  6. Sprinkle with almonds, pistachio slivers, and sugar.

  7. Bake in the oven for about 20 – 25 minutes.

  8. Let cool down well on a cooling rack.

Recipe Notes

Ghorabieh tastes best when prepared fresh and will last up to 3 days. In an air-tight container, they even keep for up to 2 weeks. They become firmer in texture, but this does not affect the taste.
