Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups roasted pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pistachios: Ensure the pistachios are roasted and shelled for optimal flavor and texture before blending.
  2. Blend the pistachios: Place the roasted pistachios into a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend continuously, occasionally scraping down the sides, until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your appliance.
  3. Add salt to taste: Once the pistachios have turned into a smooth butter, sprinkle in the salt and blend briefly to incorporate it evenly throughout the butter.
  4. Store your pistachio butter: Transfer the pistachio butter to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Use roasted pistachios for a richer flavor; raw pistachios will yield a milder taste.
  • For a thinner consistency, you can add a teaspoon of neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable oil.
  • Adjust salt according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Homemade pistachio butter can be used as a spread, in baking, or added to smoothies for extra nutrition.
