Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup roasted pistachios Choose unsalted, dry-roasted for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup tahini Use high-quality hulled tahini for a milder flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Optional for sweetness; adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Adjust based on the tahini's bitterness.
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil Add if necessary for consistency.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine roasted pistachios and tahini in a food processor.
  • Blend until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
  • Add honey or maple syrup and sea salt, then blend again.
  • Adjust the consistency with olive oil, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Transfer to a jar and create the swirl.
  • Serve on croissants, toast, or enjoy directly from the jar.

Notes

Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Warm toast will slightly liquefy the spread for easier application.
