Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup finely ground almonds
1 cup finely chopped pistachios
2 cups sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
½ cup clarified butter
12 sheets phyllo dough, cut in half crosswise
1 cup water
juice of ½ a lemon
1 tablespoon rose water
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the almonds, pistachios, 2/3 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom in a medium bowl, Stir to combine.
2. Brush a 10x13 inch baking dish with clarified butter. Lay one half-sheet of phyllo in the prepared dish and brush with clarified butter. Repeat with 5 more sheets, placing them on top of each other in the dish.
3. Sprinkle one-third of the nut mixture over the phyllo, and top with 6 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each with clarified butter before adding the next. Repeat two times, until all of the nuts and phyllo are used.
4. Using a very sharp knife, cut into seven strips lengthwise. Cut across strips diagonally, 1¼ inches apart, to make diamonds. Pour the remaining clarified butter over the pastry. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
Place the remaining 1 1/3 cups sugar and the water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the remaining ½ teaspoon cardamom, and continue to boil for 10 minutes until the syrup has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and rose water. Pour over the baked pastry.
