Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

In a blender or food processor, add all the ingredients — except the oil and the pistachio nuts — and mix until smooth.
Add oil and nuts at the end and mix roughly. It’s nice when the sauce is not too smooth and a bit chunky. Add more oil or water for a thinner texture. Salt and pepper to taste.

Tip!

Store the sauce for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

You can use it as a dip or dressing for a wide variety of dishes – grilled meat, vegetables, fish or poultry. If you need some more inspiration, check out our Baked eggplant with chorizo – a match made in heaven!
