Description

Unsalted and unroasted bright green pistachios, with a soft texture and delicate milky flavor, contain a considerable amount of moisture and easily transform into a paste. Soaking them is primarily necessary to soften the tough grayish skin that clings tightly to the nut. You can find green pistachios in bulk at supermarkets as well as farmers' markets.

Ingredients

Avocado - 3 pieces
Honey - 5 teaspoons
Unsalted peanuts, shelled - 4.6 oz
Water - ¼ glasses
Lime Juice - 1 tablespoon
Ocean salt - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the unsalted, shelled pistachios in drinking water for three hours, then drain the water and dry the nuts by placing them on a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Transfer the pistachios to a blender bowl, add honey, one tablespoon of water, and blend until smooth. Transfer the pistachio mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for five hours or overnight.

Step 3

Peel the chilled avocados (they can be stored in the refrigerator with the pistachio mixture for five hours), remove the pits, and cut them into small pieces.

Step 4

Place the avocado cubes and pistachio paste into the blender bowl, add one teaspoon of lime juice, a pinch of sea salt, and a quarter cup of water.

Step 5

Blend the avocado and pistachios at high speed until smooth. Divide the mixture into molds, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about five hours.
