Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) or a dry skillet over medium-low heat.

   Około 5 min

2. 2

   Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the dry skillet.

3. 3

   Roast the almonds for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

   Około 15 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Roasting enhances the nutty flavor. If using a skillet, stir constantly for even browning.

4. 4

   Remove the almonds from the oven or skillet and let them cool completely.

5. 5

   Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a high-speed blender or food processor.

6. 6

   Process the almonds until they form a fine powder, then continue processing until they release their oils and turn into a smooth, creamy butter. This may take 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

   Około 10 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Patience is key here; the almonds will go from powder to a thick paste, then to a runny butter.

7. 7

   With the blender or food processor still running on low, slowly drizzle in the argan oil until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

   Około 2 min

8. 8

   Add the honey and the pinch of salt (if using) and blend for another minute until everything is well combined.

9. 9

   Pour the amlou into a clean jar or serving bowl. It should have a pourable consistency.

   Wskazówka kucharza: If it's too thick, add a little more argan oil until desired consistency is reached.
