Ingredients
- 300 g whole almonds, roasted
- ½ cup argan oil (see Note)
- ½ cup honey, warmed
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. In a food processor, pulse the almonds until fine.
2. Pour in the argan oil. Then stir in the warm honey and a pinch of cinnamon.
3. Great on pita bread, fresh figs or drizzled over your pancakes.
Notes
• Argan oil is a plant oil extracted from the kernels of the Argan tree which is native to Morocco. Make sure you buy culinary argan oil intended for cooking as unlike the oil used for cosmetic purposes, the kernels have been roasted before the oil is extracted and this gives the oil its characteristic nutty aroma and delicate flavour.
• For a runnier dressing-like consistency add a little more oil.
