Equipment

  • Large nonstick pan
  • Mini food processor or mortar and pestle

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Shelled Pistachios
  • ¼ cup Shelled Pumpkin Seeds "Pepitas"
  • ¼ cup Sunflower Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Coriander Seeds
  • ½ cup Sesame Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Measure the pistachios and pumpkin seeds into a dry nonstick pan or cast iron skillet.
  • Toast over medium heat - stirring constantly - until just beginning to get fragrant.
    Add the sunflower seeds and coriander seeds, toast for another minute or so, until THEY start to smell roasty.
  • Add the sesame and cumin seeds, continue toasting for another minute or so.
  • Transfer toasted nut and seed mixture to a mini food processor, blitz until it’s as fine as you’d like it.
    I like to keep it on the chunky side - I can always process it down finer if a specific use needs that!
  • While still hot, stir in the salt.
  • Allow to cool - uncovered - to room temperature, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

Best when used within a day or two, but it’ll keep for a few weeks.
