31 Pistachio Recipes for Dinner, Dessert, and So Much Snacking
We feel we’ve got something to prove with this one, and we think we’ve done it deliciously: Our best pistachio recipes show you can do a lot with the tiny green member of the cashew family. Truly, pistachios aren’t just for ice cream or gelato (though we do have a great recipe for semifreddo) or for snacking (though spicing up the unsalted nuts and throwing them back with a beer is a stellar move); their nutty flavor suits everything from cheesy appetizers to pasta dishes to sweet desserts.
But before we get to the recipes, here’s a nut storage tip: Shelled pistachios can be stored, tightly wrapped, in the fridge for up to four months. But they’ll last even longer (six months or more) in the freezer. And unshelled nuts will keep longer still. Enough hand-holding. You know as well as we do that cooking (and eating) is believing, so go ahead, make these pistachio recipes, and don’t forget to come back and tell us what you think.
