Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 3 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1.25 cups Water
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cashews
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the almond flour to the pan and roast it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until it turns a light golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil. Add saffron strands to the boiling water and let it infuse for a minute.
Step 4
Once the almond flour is roasted, carefully add the saffron-infused boiling water to the pan. Stir continuously to avoid any lumps.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring constantly until the water is absorbed completely.
Step 6
Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee, sweetener, and cardamom powder to the pan. Mix well until the sheera thickens and the ghee starts to separate.
Step 7
In a small pan, heat a drop of ghee and roast the sliced almonds, cashews, and chopped pistachios until they are golden brown.
Step 8
Add the roasted nuts to the sheera and mix well.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and transfer the low carb sheera to a serving bowl. Serve warm, garnished with extra nuts if desired.
