Chef's notes
Any other nuts I can sub? I’m fresh out of pistachios. I did make this with other types of nuts like walnuts and almonds and it worked just fine, but the taste wasn’t as good. If you can find shelled pistachios, it’s worth the splurge!
I have a nut allergy! What else can I use? Give it a whirl with sunflower seeds!
I really don’t like the taste of cilantro. What should I use instead? You could use more parsley or even sub fresh basil. It’ll just give the sauce a little bit of a different, albeit still delicious, flavor!
