Preparation
 
* soaked in 2 tablespoons hot water

Serve this smooth sauce on grilled meat or chicken breasts. One
recipe will be enough for about 1 1/2 pounds of cooked meat. For an
exotic twist on an old standby, simmer 1 1/2 Pounds of your favorite
meatballs in it for 15 minutes.

Combine almonds and pistachios in a 10-inch frying pan and dry-roast
over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a blender or a food
processor and reduce to a powder. Set aside.

Heat butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
onion and cook until lightly browned. Stir in spices and cook until
fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in saffron, cream, salt and powdered
nuts. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer,
stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back
of a spoon, 12 to 15 minutes.

Makes 2 1/2 cups.
