This Parsley, Roasted Pistachio, and Chili Pesto recipe is a unique twist on the traditional pesto. Combining the rich flavor of roasted pistachios, the fresh zing of parsley, the bold spice from red hot chili peppers, and the savory taste of grated parmesan cheese, this pesto is perfect for adding a flavorful kick to pasta, sandwiches, or even as a dip.
- For an even richer flavor, lightly toast the pistachio nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes before using them in the pesto.
- Adjust the number of chili peppers based on your heat preference. Remove the seeds for a milder pesto or leave them in for extra spice.
- If the pesto is too thick, you can add a bit more olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.
- For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or a vegan cheese option.
- Serve the pesto immediately, or store it in an airtight container with a thin layer of olive oil on top to prevent oxidation and maintain its vibrant green color.
Your Parsley, Roasted Pistachio, and Chili Pesto is now ready to serve. This versatile and vibrant pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container. Enjoy it as a spread, mix it into your favorite pasta, or get creative and use it as a marinade.
