Goat Cheese And Pistachio Spread Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the garlic & salt until garlic is finely minced, then add the goat cheese & butter & process until combined & smooth.
• Scatter nuts & chives over the top, then add a little ground pepper & pulse 2-3 times until combined.
• Taste & adjust the seasoning, if necessary, then transfer to a serving bowl & ENJOY!

Steps:

• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together the goat cheese, the butter, the garlic paste, the pistachio nuts, the sliced chives, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is combined well, spoon the spread into a serving dish, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, overnight. The spread may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Garnish the spread with the chive blades and serve it with the toasts.

Steps:

• Stir together the goat cheese, 2 tablespoons of the pistachios, and the chives in a small bowl until smooth. Season with pepper.

Garnish the dates with the remaining tablespoon pistachios and more chives.
