Step by step recipe
- 1: Pistachios in their skins have a purplish colour.
- 2: Tip the pistachios into a pan of boiling water.
Wait until this comes back to the boil, then turn off the heat. - 3: Take out a few pistachios and drain them.
- 4: Press a pistachio between your fingers to squeeze it out of its skin.
Discard the skin and tackle the next one.
It's a long and tedious job. Work in batches, keeping the waiting pistachios thoroughly wet, otherwise the skin will stick. - 5: I advise you to dry the peeled pistachios in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes. They should then keep well.
Keep dry in a sealed container.
Remarks
If you prefer to skip the drying in Stage 5, you will need to use up your pistachios rapidly or they risk turning mouldy.
