Dubai Dessert with Strawberries

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Start by preparing the kataifi dough. Mix the flour with starch and salt, add oil and about 150 g of water. Using a whisk, mix until a smooth dough forms, then add the rest of the water and mix into a smooth, thin batter. Using a pastry scraper, mix it for 5 minutes, then let it rest for an hour.
• 2
  Heat a pan, grease it with fat, and pour the rested dough into a pastry bag. Cut off a small tip to create a tiny opening, and squeeze longitudinal thin streaks onto the pan. Once the dough separates from the pan, use a spatula to transfer it to a plate. Continue this process until all the dough is used. Set aside the finished noodles for now; you will need approximately half for the dessert.
• 3
  For the pistachio cream, put pistachios into a blender and grind them into small pieces. Add cream and sugar and continue blending until a thick pistachio cream forms. If it's too thick, add a little more cream.
• 4
  Cut half of the prepared kataifi noodles into small pieces and heat a pan. Add ghee to the hot pan, and once melted, add the kataifi. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are crispy. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie along with a spoon of oil to create a smooth chocolate sauce.
• 5
  Pour the sautéed noodles into a bowl, add approximately half of the pistachio cream, and mix together.
• 6
  Layer the chopped strawberries into glasses, then add the pistachio noodle mixture, melted dark chocolate, and pistachio cream. Finally, garnish with chopped pistachios.
