Preparation

Heat the sugar and water until a syrup forms. Add the almonds, walnuts and rose water, and mix until thick.
Sprinkle flour on a flat round baking tray about 18 cm (7 in) in diameter. Spread the cooked mixture onto the tray and level with a knife. Sprinkle the pistachios on top and allow to set. While the mixture is setting, cut it into diamonds. Refrigerate. Serve when the mixture has hardened.
