Pepitas Pâté
A bright green pepitas and pistachio pâté blended with chives, cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups raw pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels)
- ⅓ cup pistachios
- ½ cup finely chopped chives
- 1 cup finely chopped cilantro
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 10 grinds black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the pepitas and pistachios in a food processor fitted with a metal blade for 2 minutes to create a coarse paste. Scrape down the sides before adding the chives and cilantro. Blitz for 1 minute. The mixture will look bright green. Scrape down the sides again. Then, with the motor running, pour in the lemon juice and olive oil and pulse until just combined.
