Description
A delicious homemade pistachio paste made from roasted pistachios.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pistachios (shells)
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add the pistachios to the water. Boil for 10 minutes, drain and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Place the pistachios on a clean kitchen towel. Rub the pistachios using the kitchen towel to remove the skin. Most of the pistachios will be peeled this way and you can peel the few remaining ones with your hand.

- Place the pistachios in the bowl of a food processor or a high speed blender. Blend in intervals and pause to scrape the sides using a spatula. Blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.
