Finely dice shallot.

Sauté shallots in butter for approx. 3 – 5 min. until translucent.

In a large bowl, mix together the pistachios, breadcrumbs, egg, mustard, shallot and olive oil. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Using a fine grater, grate nutmeg into pistachio mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir well.
