Pistachio Hummus

Pistachio Hummus on plate with cut vegetablesI've come up with a few hummus recipes where I replace the tahini with something else due to allergies or high cost, but this one is by far my favourite now. This hummus uses pistachios to replace the sesame paste and gives it an amazing flavour. I've also added green peas for colour, texture, and dimension. I urge you to try this recipe!

Some additions I've used and loved with this recipe: 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 a teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/4 of a bunch of chopped cilantro.

using pistachios is far more expensive that tahini - so this would not be cost effective for me, but it sounds like it might taste great!

Some people have allergies to sesame or are doing a diet where it is excluded. It's nice to have options. I have a recipe for pumpkin seed hummus that I haven't tried yet but looks good.

You can substitute pistachios (or any other nut) for pine nuts in pesto too. I always think the green is really appropriate.

I'd love to try a pumpkin seed hummus! I have a mild allergy with some tahini so this pistachio has worked well as a sub :)

Thanks Sandi and Mic! It's truly one of my new faves. One of my close friends was told to eat a lot of these ingredients for her gut disorders, so it might be more than beneficial to the tastebuds!

You're putting the lemon in the squeezer wrong. It is upside down. You will have better results is you turn it and put it in with the cut side down to the holes. I know that looks backwards, but, trust me, it works better with the membrane on the holes.
