How to Prepare Lemon Beet Hummus With Poached Pistachios [Vegan, Grain-Free]

In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of the pistachios and 3 cups cold water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered until the pistachios are softened (poached), about 20 minutes. Drain.
Add the poached pistachios, beets, beans, lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt, and cumin to a blender. Cover and puree until velvety smooth, at least 3 minutes on high speed, scraping down sides as needed. Adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup pistachios, and serve.
