Parmesan Pistachio Crisps Food

PISTACHIO PLUM CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Work the butter into the dry ingredients using your hands until completely incorporated (it will be soft and slightly sticky). Stir in 3/4 cup pistachios and set aside.
• For the filling: Toss the plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and rose water, if using, together in a 3-quart baking dish. Scatter the topping over the plums, then scatter the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pistachios on top.
• Bake until the fruit bubbles and the crumble is golden brown and crisped, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.

• Blot the cut-side of potatoes with a paper towel to remove any moisture. Place potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; toss until potatoes are lightly coated. Sprinkle potatoes with Parmesan cheese mixture; toss to coat. Arrange potatoes, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn potatoes to cut-side up; continue baking until golden and crispy, about 15 to 20 more minutes. Serve with sour cream.
