Ingredients

1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups pistachios, finely chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, pistachios, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
Drizzle the melted butter over the nut mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Use immediately as a filling for baklava, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips

For best texture, chop nuts by hand or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped but not pasty.
Toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes before chopping for extra flavor.
This filling can also be used in other pastries like börek or as a topping for yogurt.
