Raw almonds
2 cups
Argan oil
1/2 cup
Honey
1/4 cup, or to taste
Salt
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, add the raw almonds and pulse until they become a fine powder, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes.
  2. Once the almonds are finely ground, add the argan oil, honey, and salt to the food processor.
  3. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, which may take 3-5 minutes. Be patient as the mixture transforms!
  4. Taste the Amlou and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired, blending again to incorporate thoroughly.
  5. Transfer the Amlou to a clean jar or container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve the Amlou as a sumptuous spread on warm bread, crunchy crackers, or even drizzled over fresh fruits such as apples or pears.
