A few times when Choi was in Iraq she would mention how good the local cuisine was. They had a native linguist that would bring them food from off-base. One of her favorites was the Iraqi Baklava. From what she could figure out, it differed from normal Baklava in that it had less layers of phyllo and filling. The filling was just simply a Pistachio and Simple Syrup Mix.
The Recipie:
7-10 layers of Phyllo each brushed with Butter
1 Layer of Pistachio and Simple Syrup Concoction
7-10 Layers of Phyllo; each brushed with Butter
Cut into desired shape before baking; Bake at 300 for 30 minutes. Broil on High until top layer is browned (don't walk away!). Drench the puppies in simple syrup, let stand for 20 minutes and serve.
Enjoy,
Adam and Choi
