directions

Step 1:

Pulse garlic and pistachios in a food processor until you see a coarse texture.


Step 2:

Add the rest of the ingredients and half of the broth. Purée until as smooth as possible, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, to ensure all ingredients are well blended.


Step 3:

Stream in the rest of the broth to thin out.


Step 4:

Add salt and pepper to taste.
