Regarding pumpkin seeds, perhaps? But maybe the texture will be off? Try.
Of course I thought of this because I just bought pumpkin seeds for other reasons but do not also have pistachios. I'll have to go back and get pistachios so I can taste them side by side. But preliminary testing is encouraging. They needed some added fat to liquefy in the cuisinart, but they have a nice green color not adequately captured and a vague nutty flavor. Plus they were only a few dollars a pound.
250 g pumpkin seeds, warmed up
still crumbly after 10 minutes in the cuisinart
added 25 g avocado oil, getting runnier
added 25 g cacao butter because on second thought it'll probably get mixed with chocolate
the color is brighter than this, closer to basil than olive
