Ingredients:
5 tablespoons pistachios
1 1/4 cups dried figs, stemmed ( moist-style)
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind
Directions:
Remove 8 whole pistachios, halve them and set aside for garnishing. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of remaining pistachios in food processor. Now remove from container and set aside. Combine remaining pistachios, figs and grated orange peel in processor; process until mixture forms into ball, a little under 1 minute. Shape into an 8″ log, then roll in reserved chopped nuts. Chill until firm, and cut into 16 slices. Place halved pistachios in center of each.
Note: If you do not have a food processor, place figs and all but 8 pistachios onto a cutting board and chop together with large knife until fine. Mix grated orange peel, and shape as above.
