Pistachio and almond nut butter recipe
This nut butter is a doddle to make. You can put it on toast in the morning, or use in dishes like satay. I use pre-blanched almonds and pre-roasted pistachios in this recipe – roasting and peeling both is really arduous, and really doesn’t yield significantly better results once you source good nuts to begin with.

Step-by-step
- Grind the nuts without the oil in a food processor for five minutes or until the nuts form a smooth paste.
- Add the oil to taste, I like mine to be quite spreadable so add three tablespoons - you might want to play with yours to get it as you like it.
- Sterilise the jar and lid by boiling for fifteen minutes. Pour the butter into the jar and keep refrigerated.
