Turkish Delight, also known as Lokum, is a popular confectionery originating from Turkey. In simple words, it is a jelly-like soft nougat bar mainly made from starch and sugar and typically flavoured with rosewater, lemon, or other fruit flavours. We've added beautiful and unique bright green skinless pistachio nuts to the nougat recipe for their intensity of colour. These green pistachios are a very special ingredient to keep in the store cupboard: add to vibrant Middle Eastern salads, grind finely to sprinkle vibrant pistachio powder over cakes and choux pastries, or chop and use to coat chocolate truffles. However, if you don't think you will use a whole 1kg bag over the next few months just exchange for ordinary pistachio nuts. Torrone from Italy includes these same basic ingredients as well as vanilla or citrus flavoring, and is often sandwiched between two very thin sheets of rice paper. [15] The Venetian town of Cologna Veneta is well known for its nougat production, especially the type called mandorlato [16] ( mandorle in Italian); this type is also based on honey, sugar, egg whites, and almonds but has a different flavor and is harder to bite than torrone. Many legends exist around nougat's origins. Early recipes of white nougat were found in a Middle Eastern book in Baghdad in the 10th century. That nougat was called ناطف nāṭif. [6] One of these recipes indicates that the nāṭif comes from Harran, a city located between Urfa (now in southeast Turkey) and Aleppo, Syria. Mention of nāṭif was found in a triangle between Urfa, Aleppo, and Baghdad. At the end of the 10th century, the traveler and geographer Ibn Hawqal wrote that he ate some nāṭif in Manbij (in modern Syria) and Bukhara (in modern Uzbekistan).
