Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
375 grams kataifi shredded pastry
[about 3/4 pound]
185 grams butter, melted
[about 6 ounces]
400 grams ricotta cheese -- (2 cups)
60 grams chopped pecans
150 grams dried apricots, chopped -- (1 cup)
2 milliliters ground nutmeg -- (1/2 teaspoon)
2 milliliters ground ginger -- (1/2 teaspoon)
125 milliliters plain yogurt -- (1/2 cup)
40 milliliters maple-flavoured syrup -- (2 tablespoons)
**Syrup**
375 milliliters water -- (1 1/2 cups)
385 grams sugar -- (1 3/4 cups)
60 milliliters maple-flavoured syrup -- (1/4 cup)
20 milliliters orange flower water -- (1 tablespoon)
Place the pastry in a large bowl; pull the strands apart and pour the
melted butter over the pastry. Mix well.
Grease a large shallow ovenproof dish (4 liter/16 cup capacity); line with
baking parchment. Place half the pastry mixture over the parchment.
Combine the rest of the ingredients (except for the syrup) and spread over
the pastry. Distribute the remaining pastry over this.
Bake in a moderate (350F/180C) oven for about 30 minutes or until browned.
While it is baking make the syrup:
Combine the syrup ingredients in a medium pan; stir over heat, without
boiling, until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer, uncovered, without stirring,
about 15 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened.
As soon as the pastry has finished baking, remove it from the oven and
immediately pour the hot syrup over it; cool. Cover and refrigerate for 3
hours or overnight.
Cut into squares to serve.
This recipe is best made a day ahead and stored, covered, in the
refrigerator. Not suitable for freezing.
