Using raw pistachios for the pistachio paste

Hi Netta! Yes, I've seen recipes for pistachio paste that call for raw pistachios that you soak for a minute or two in hot water, rub the skins off with a kitchen towel, and then blend with a little water. I've also seen more elaborate paste recipes that add things like orange flower water and roasted pistachio oil. The key is to use raw (unsalted/not roasted) pistachios. Let us know what you decide to do and how it turns out!
