Roasted Salted Pistachio Kernels (Pista Maghz)

Roasted salted pistachio kernels are shelled pistachios roasted through and finished with salt, so the flavour lands somewhere between a roasted almond and a salted cashew: rich, toasty and savoury, with the salt sitting right on the surface where you taste it first. Because there are no shells in the way, a handful disappears quickly.

This is the eat now listing. Everything has been done for you: shelled, roasted, salted, nothing to crack and nothing to cook. It is the one to buy for snack bowls, mezze tables and gifting. Our roasted unsalted kernels give you the same convenience without the salt, the raw kernels are for cooks who want to roast their own, and the in shell version is the one for slow, hands on snacking.

How to use them

Serve them straight in a mezze spread beside olives and cheese, or scatter them over hummus and labneh. Chop them over grain bowls, fattoush and roasted carrots, use them to crust lamb or chicken, or fold them through a savoury cheese biscuit. They also belong in noql and in snack mixes with raisins and dried apricot. Technique tip: chop them by hand rather than in a food processor, so the salt stays in flakes you can actually taste instead of being ground into dust.
