Serve this smooth sauce on grilled meat or chicken breasts. One recipe will
be enough for about 1 1/2 pounds of cooked meat. For an exotic twist on an
old standby, simmer 1 1/2 Pounds of your favorite meatballs in it for
15 minutes. Combine almonds and pistachios in a 10-inch frying pan
and dry-roast over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a blender or a
food processor and reduce to a powder. Set aside. Heat butter in a heavy
2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until lightly
browned. Stir in spices and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in
saffron, cream, salt and powdered nuts. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is
thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 2 1/2
cups. PER TABLESPOON: 70 calories, 1 g protein, 2 g carbohydrate, 7 g fat
