Question from George Sykes
The image partway down shows pistachios are they meant to be added as well, can't see them on the ingredients list?

Hi George - it looks like the placement of the image of the pistachios is misleading. They are the last ingredient listed and are simply sprinkled on top. We will update the recipe so that the image of the pistachios appears later on in the method to avoid this confusion.
