2 SECRETS to bright green PISTACHIO PASTE from scratch

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Boil water in a pot.

Add raw pistachios to the boiling water and let them sit for about 1 minute.

Strain the pistachios to remove excess water and place them on a clean kitchen towel.

Rub the pistachios between the kitchen towels to remove the skins.

Pick out the peeled pistachios and place them on a clean plate.

Transfer the peeled pistachios to a food processor.

Process the pistachios for about 3 to 5 minutes until they go from whole nuts to crumbly, then to ground nuts, and finally to a paste.

If the paste balls up and doesn't smooth out, add a teaspoon of water at a time to help it smooth out.

Continue processing until the paste is nice and smooth.
