Green Tomatoes with Pistachio Relish

From Food & Wine

Relishes typically contain cooked and pickled vegetables; the one here is mouth-tinglingly tangy. James Syhabout of Oakland, California's Commis makes it by pickling shallots, capers, pistachios, and pink peppercorns overnight in Champagne vinegar and olive oil. It's awesome on tomatoes, but he also likes using it on fish.

Tangy Red-Pepper-and-Nut Dip

From Food & Wine

The classic Syrian nut dip muhammara typically contains walnuts, bread crumbs, Aleppo pepper paste, and pomegranate syrup, but there are endless variations. The bright-flavored take here is adapted from a recipe by Anissa Helou's Syrian chef-friend Mohammed Antabli. Pistachios, cashews, and freshly toasted pine nuts, almonds, and walnuts give it a chunky texture, while onions and red bell peppers make it tangy-sweet.
