Little present in our kitchens, pistachio oil is nevertheless a precious culinary ally.
Its powerful flavor and its magnificent green hue bring all the aroma of the pistachio to both savory and sweet dishes.
Economical, a fillet is enough to sublimate your dishes!
We all use sunflower, olive or walnut oil for cooking.
But we do not know all the virtues of pistachio oil. It allows you to make delicious dishes with varied and inexpensive ingredients!
In Perfect Harmony with Salty For…
Salads :endive, avocado, lamb’s lettuce, green bean or beetroot, its persistent and subtle aroma will enhance them deliciously. Prefer a slightly sweet vinegar for your vinaigrette, such as balsamic or cider vinegar, or simply a squeeze of lemon.
Potatoes and pasta :pour a drizzle of pistachio oil on your pasta or cooked potatoes to flavor them deliciously.
It will also surprise you when finishing your culinary preparations by depositing a light drizzle before serving them (original for your tartars, carpaccios or dinner aperitifs!)
In Perfect Harmony with Sweet For…
Pastries: replace your knob of butter with a little pistachio oil in a cake or cake recipe, it will bring its soft and sweet taste.
Fruit-based desserts :apples, raw pears, apricots, citrus fruits or raspberries, once again, the combination of these flavors and pistachio oil will surprise you!
If I can't find it in the grocery store, I order it directly on the internet for less than €15, delivery included. It will enhance hundreds of dishes!
