I have already posted recipes for Pistachio Tart and Kebab With Pistachios. However, since I am in the midst of my green period, or pistachio period, to be precise, it’s time now for a Broccoli Quiche With Pistachios!

Place pistachio and broccoli in the food processor, add almond butter (or tahini), fried onions, and spices; Transfer to the pan, bake for about 45 minutes.
