Almond Sauce
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Soak the raw almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften them and make them easier to blend.
-
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly.
-
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked almonds, water, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
-
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
If the sauce is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired thickness.
-
Taste the almond sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
-
Once you’re happy with the flavor and consistency, transfer the almond sauce to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
