GREEK ALMOND AND WALNUT KATAIFI
These look nice and are delicious according to all who have tried them including DH who supposedly hates walnuts. I suggest looking at photos on Google if you have never seen these before trying to prepare them. Modified from a recipe on http://greekfood.about.com

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
- Prepare syrup:.
- Heat the water in a saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Add the lemon juice, peel, and cloves, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, remove from the heat, strain, and set aside to cool.
- Prepare filling:.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling and blend well with a wooden spoon.
- A word about kataïfi dough:.
- This dough comes commercially packaged in a long strip, about 3 inches wide. To prepare it for this recipe, lay the long strip out on a clean work surface and divide it into 18-24 pieces, gently spreading the strands out a bit if they clump together. Each piece will be used to create an individual kataïfi roll. Keep unused dough covered with a piece of waxed paper and a damp towel on top of that to keep it from drying out.
- Brush a strip with melted butter.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling at one end of the strip and roll up into a cylinder, tucking in any stray pieces of dough. Take care to roll the pastry tightly so that the filling is securely enclosed.
- Place the rolls seam side down in a lightly buttered baking dish, close together but not squashed, and brush well with butter. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until golden brown and crispy looking.
- Remove from oven, pour cool syrup over the pastry and cover with a clean towel. Let cool about 3-4 hours as it absorbs the syrup.
- Enjoy!

ALMOND AND WALNUT KATAIFI (CAKE STYLE)
Kataifi is a popular Middle Eastern pastry made with shredded phyllo dough, also called Kataifi. In the traditional recipe you roll 3 inch strips around the nuts. I have made it like a cake -- MUCH EASIER. You can find it in your better local Greek or Middle Eastern market. Supposedly you can cut phyllo into thin strips yourself, however it would not be nearly as wonderful as the package Kataifi.....it is so fine and marvelous. I am going to use this as a topping for savory casserole. Be creative and use other nut combination. Pistatios, pecans, etc.
