Hello Darlings!
This week’s Meatless Monday From A-Z’s ingredient was
incredibly open ended: nuts. I happen to love nuts (as ridiculous as that may
sound) and add them to everything- breads, salads, whilst roasting protein-
seriously everything. However, one of my favorite ways to eat them is by
smothering them onto other things, aka toast. So I thought I would share an
autumn twist on the traditional almond butter recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Almonds
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
- ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.
Scatter almonds on a cookie sheet and toast in
the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
3.
Place toasted almonds in a food processor and
grind until very fine.
4.
In a small bowl mix EVOO and all spices.
5.
Add EVOO mixture to the finely ground almonds
and blend until it is a smooth paste!
6.
Enjoy!
You can easily keep this recipe raw by using raw almonds
instead of toasted ones, however I prefer the flavor of a toasted almond
butter! Its always fun to experiment!
