1/2 pound of dried apricots
1/4 cup sugar
3 cardamom pods, crushed and seeded
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup drained yogurt
1/2 cup ricotta
3 tablespoons unsalted pistachio nuts, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Wash and then soak the dried apricots in 2 cups of water overnight.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Drain the apricots over a bowl. Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and add the sugar, cardamom pods, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and add the apricots. Cover the apricots with a small sheet of parchment paper. Cover the pan and poach the apricots in a 300-degree oven for 1 1/2 hours. Then let the apricots cool in their liquid; then chill.
  • Just before serving, lift out the apricots to drain. Mix the yogurt and ricotta together, open each apricot and stuff it with the yogurt mixture. Place the stuffed apricots on a serving plate, spoon over a little syrup. Garnish with pistachios. Recommended drink: Camomile Tea, infused with cardamom, cinnamon and clove
