Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped. Add ½ cup (125 mL) flour and the chopped Medjool dates. Pulse until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add olives and pulse until mixed. Add remaining flour, orange zest, salt, baking powder and pepper. Pulse until well mixed.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and knead gently. Flatten into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
