Someone gave my partner a bunch of pistachios. I mean, three BIG bags of them. Anyone got any ideas about what to do with a bunch of pistachios? Other than just shell them and eat them, I mean? Any good recipes? Can I roast them and put seasoning on them or anything like that? They don't taste bad but they are kind of boring and I have THREE BAGS of them. LOL

Not sure about specific recipies...although I'd enjoy looking up internet recipes (avid googler)...am I mistaken, isn't there a pisachio puddling? (yes I mean the jello type), wonder if there is some way to incorporate that into maybe greek yogurt/protein to make a healtheir and protein packed "pudding"...the pudding is the only thing I've ever heard using pisachios...

Yeah, there is. How about Greek yogurt with pistachio pudding mix, a little splenda, some chopped pistachios and some cherries? I love playing with Greek yogurt.

Ok this is the Foodie in me talking...but I think they would make a nice pesto instead of pine nuts. Different flavor, so maybe you could make a spicy pistachio pesto. But the creaminess of the nut when it grinds up, I imagine, would be nice.

ETA: I Googled it. My Foodie sense is good! Here you go!

E(again)TA: Ohhhh...this looks dreamy too. Pistachio hummus!
