Pistachio and Fig Pizza
Pistachio and fig both lean rich and sweet, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Crushed pistachios add a vibrant green color and a sweet, buttery, slightly floral crunch. Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
