How to make Salted pistachio crumbles with berries and ice cream

1. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 180°C.

2. Spread the pistachios on a rimmed baking tray and toast them for 6–8 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are slightly golden brown.

3. Allow the pistachios to cool, then pulse them in a food processor until mostly finely ground, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

4. In a large bowl, mix the ground pistachios, flour, sugar, cornmeal, and 1 tsp salt.

5. Drizzle in the melted butter and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or the handle of a wooden spoon until small clumps, resembling pebbles to peas, form.

6. Scatter the crumble mixture over a parchment-lined rimmed baking tray, taking care not to break it up too much. Bake for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the crumble is golden brown. Allow it to cool.

7. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with the lemon juice, cardamom, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

8. Heat the honey in a small frying pan over a low flame, stirring until it begins to bubble and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes.

9. Remove the honey from the heat and scrape it into the bowl with the strawberries. Toss until the honey is evenly distributed; it will be sticky at first but will dissolve over time. Allow the mixture to sit, tossing occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices, about 15 minutes.

10. Scoop the ice cream into bowls and spoon the strawberries and their juices over the top. Scatter the crumble on top to serve.
