Pistachio is one of my favorite nuts – and pistachio paste is the height of decadence. Pistachio cake … pistachio pastries … pistachio mochi – I’m there. This paste would be delicious as a standalone. Amarena cherries come in beautiful jars and are worth buying for that in itself, but tinned cherries also work well!
100 grams (3 and 1/2 ounces) pistachios
100 grams (3 and 1/2 ounces) Geneve White Chocolate
80 milliliters (3 fluid ounces) double cream
a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, such as Tuscanini
4 slices of seeded bread
4 tablespoons amarena cherries, with some syrup
Put the pistachios into the small bowl of a food processor and blitz until they form a paste (be patient).
Melt the white chocolate in bursts in the microwave.
Bring the cream to a simmer in a small pan on the stovetop.
With the food processor motor still running, add both the cream and the chocolate to the pistachio paste, with a sprinkle of salt flakes and mix until it makes a thick paste.
Toast the bread and then spread with the pistachio paste. Spoon the cherries on top!
