Dubai Dessert with Strawberries

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Start by preparing the kataifi dough. Mix the flour with the starch and salt, add the oil and about 150 g of water. Use a whisk to mix into a smooth dough, then add the remaining water and mix into a smooth, thin batter. Stir it with a pastry spatula for 5 minutes, then let it rest for an hour.
• 2
  Heat a pan, grease it with fat, and pour the rested batter into a pastry bag. Cut a small end to create a tiny opening and squeeze narrow streaks onto the pan. Once the dough separates from the pan, use a spatula to remove it onto a plate. Continue this process until all the batter is used. Set aside the finished noodles; you will need about half for the dessert.
• 3
  For the pistachio cream, place the pistachios in a blender and grind them into small pieces. Add the 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 water bath with a tablespoon of oil to make a smooth chocolate sauce.
• 5
  Pour the sautéed noodles into a bowl, add about half of the pistachio cream, and mix together.
• 6
  Layer the chopped strawberries, pistachio noodle mixture, melted dark chocolate, and pistachio cream in glasses. Finally, garnish with chopped pistachios.
