Pesto Pistachio Cheese

    I tried this because I was looking for red and green ideas for Christmas. We liked it, but I don't think the pistachios added anything to the flavor (and they are very expensive!). I think it would have been better with chopped green pepper and diced tomato as a topping.

    Pesto Pistachio Cheese, Adapted from the California Pistachio Commision, this is great served on bread!, I tried this because I was looking for red and green ideas for Christmas We liked it, but I don’t think the pistachios added anything to the flavor (and they are very expensive!) I think it would have been better with chopped green pepper and diced tomato as a topping , Great recipe: I wouldn’t change this in any way Rather than using this as an appetiser, used this as a filling for my take-to-work sandwich today Since elegance of presentation was not a factor for me, I just stirred all the ingredients together, so that meant stirring in all the chopped pistachios in one go used fresh basil, and added about a 1/4 of a finely diced red bell pepper A delicious spread: a great blend of flavours and wonderful textural variation All I added to my Pesto Pistachio Cheese sandwich were some baby spinach leaves Made for one truly delicious sandwich, so I’m really looking forward to having some more for tomorrow’s lunch Thanks for sharing this recipe, Sharon! Made for Newest Zaar Tag!
