I started making this a few years ago. I get the nuts at a bulk store or middle east grocery to save some money. Toasting the nuts really adds to the flavor. Use whatever you have on hand and experiment. —reahpeah
Ingredients
-
2-3 cups
Unsalted nuts. I like peanuts, almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds
-
2-3+ tablespoons
Canola oil
-
1 teaspoon
Sea salt or to taste
Directions
-
Spread whatever nuts you have on hand onto a cooke sheet. Best to use whole nuts if possible. Toast in oven at 400 degrees until toasty brown. Watch carefully, they will quickly burn. Let cool a few minutes
-
Place nuts (and seeds) into a food processor with some salt (add 1/2 and adjust to taste). Pulse the nuts util coarsely chopped. If you want crunchy nut butter set 1/4 cup aside for later
-
Slowly add a stream of oil, until desired texture is reached. Taste and add more salt if needed.
-
Pour into container and mix in chopped nuts (if you set them aside).
Very tasty with apple slices.
