Instructions
Place pistachio nuts in a dry frypan over a medium heat. Lightly toast for a few minutes, moving the nuts around every 30 seconds or so to prevent them burning. Set aside to cool
Place all the ingredients into a food processor. Blitz until you have a smooth paste. Add more olive oil if you prefer a runnier consistency. Season to taste with sea salt and cracked black pepper
Store in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to a week. Will freeze well for up to a month
