Ingredients

3/4 cup Wonderful Pistachios No Shells Lightly Salted, divided
8 oz. cooked peeled beets, chopped
1 15-oz. can no-salt-added cannellini beans, drained
Juice and zest of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons juice)
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons roasted pistachio oil or extra-virgin olive oil

Method

In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup Wonderful Pistachios and 3 cups cold water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered until the pistachios are softened (poached), about 20 minutes. Drain.
Add the poached pistachios, beets, beans, lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt, and cumin to a blender. Cover and puree until velvety smooth, at least 3 minutes on high speed, scraping down sides as needed. Adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Wonderful Pistachios, and serve.
