Instructions
1
Place the halved dried apricots in a small saucepan with the warm water, honey, crushed cardamom and saffron threads.
2
Bring gently to a bare simmer over low heat, then remove from the heat immediately once it reaches a light bubble, about 3 minutes.
3
Stir in the lemon juice and let the apricots steep in the warm liquid, covered, for 15 minutes off the heat.
4
Transfer the apricots and their saffron syrup into a bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours until cold and the syrup has thickened slightly.
5
Divide the chilled soaked apricots and syrup between two bowls.
6
Top each bowl with a spoonful of greek yogurt and a scatter of chopped pistachio just before serving.
