Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups raw unsalted, shelled pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and add the pistachios to a baking sheet.
  • Roast the Pistachios. Roast the pistachios in the preheated 375°F oven just long enough to bring the oils to the surface -- about 7 minutes. They will be aromatic and might look a bit wet when they're ready. (Do this even if the pistachios you buy say they've been roasted.)
  • Grind the pistachios. Add the roasted pistachios to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend for about 7 minutes. Add the sugar and salt and blend for another couple of seconds.
  • Cool. Let it cool down before refrigerating. (It should last at least a month in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.)
