Create a Smooth and Vibrant Pistachio Paste at Home

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Put 1 cup of roasted pistachios in a food processor.

Process the pistachios until they turn into a paste, which may take some time.

After 3 minutes, check the consistency; it should start to form a paste.

Optionally, rub the roasted pistachios between a kitchen towel to remove some of the skin before processing, though the creator prefers to keep the skin for added flavor.

Scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even processing.

Continue processing for another 3 minutes until the consistency is thinner and smoother.

If the paste is too thick, add a little vegetable oil to achieve the desired consistency.

After 10 minutes of processing, check the thickness; it should be a good consistency for use in recipes.

Store the pistachio paste in the refrigerator until ready to use, allowing it to come to room temperature before mixing it into other dishes.
