1. Combine the finely chopped pistachio nuts and caster sugar, and set aside. 2. Combine the ground almonds and icing sugar with enough orange-blossom water to form a stiff paste. 3. Knead until smooth and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. 4. Shape the paste into small balls the size of a walnut, and using a teaspoon handle, make a small hole in each ball and fill it with the combined pistachio nuts and caster sugar; close the hole over the filling and reshape to a round shape. 5. Roll the balls in icing sugar and place in small paper cups or on a serving plate. Decorate the top of each ball with a peeled pistachio nut. 6. Serve with coffee. 7. Note: To peel pistachio nuts, simmer for 3 minutes, drain and slip off skins; dry on a paper towel before use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
