Ingredients: 1 cup heavy cream; 1/2 cup whole milk; 1/4 cup roasted, unsalted pistachios, finely ground; 2 tablespoons honey; 1.5 teaspoons gelatin powder (or 1/2 sheet gelatin, bloomed); 3 tablespoons warm water (for blooming gelatin); 1.5 teaspoons orange blossom water; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; Pinch of fine sea salt; For candied peel: 1 orange and 1 lemon, zest removed in strips, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon for rolling); For sesame brittle: 1/4 cup sesame seeds (white, black, or mixed), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A silky, barely-set panna cotta infused with orange blossom water—a ingredient that adds delicate floral perfume without heaviness—and ground pistachios for subtle nuttiness. Candied citrus peel—strips of orange and lemon rind cooked in sugar syrup—provides jewel-like garnish and chewy-crunchy texture. A shatter of crispy sesame brittle adds the element of surprise. Elegant, technique-forward, entirely Mediterranean.
