sounds yummy!
Great idea – I love pistachios. I wonder if you could use the pistachios as a breadcrumb substitute and make some sort of aubergine parmigiana type dish?
Yum! I’ve never thought to use pistachios as a crust–what a great idea! Btw, I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award! http://epicureanvegan.com/2012/06/26/one-lovely-blog-award/
