Vanilla Pistachio Nut Butter


Today I'm messing around with pistachios because I have a big container of them so why not...I mean besides the fact that they are terribly expensive, even here in California, the land of the pistachio.  Also, these are already shelled which kind of makes my imagination run wild.


Nut butter is the obvious choice but I wanted something a little more daring so I added vanilla bean seeds.

1 1/2 cup roasted pistachios
2 vanilla beans scraped and the shell discarded
salt to taste (if you buy them already roasted and salted you probably won't need to add any salt)


Blend all of the ingredients in your food processor until the nuts take on a buttery consistency.  This may take a while and you may need to scrape the sides once or twice.




I made a few small sandwiches for little miss picky pants and she demanded seconds so that's saying something...this is a keeper.
