Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw shelled pistachios
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw shelled pistachios in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Drain the water from the pistachios and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add the olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, garlic cloves, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and fresh basil leaves to the blender.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure even blending.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Step 6
If the sauce is too thick, gradually add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the creamy pistachio sauce to a serving bowl or jar. Use immediately as a sauce over pasta, a salad dressing, or a dip, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
