Argan is all the rage in cosmetics and beauty products but culinary grade argan tastes wonderful. This dip is made to showcase the flavors of the oil. It’s often served for breakfast or at snack time along with fresh, hot bread.
INGREDIENTS
◊ 1 cup crushed almonds
◊ Argan oil
◊ Honey to taste
DIRECTIONS
This recipe is very much a “to your taste” recipe. Almonds can be rough- ly crushed or as fine as almond flour. I prefer the smoother version but others like it with more texture.
◊ Mix almonds with argan oil until a paste begins to form.
◊ Add in honey to your taste. You’ll want to add at least 1-2 teaspoon as the honey helps create the consistency of amlou.
◊ The final product should be thinner than a paste but not a liquid.
When a spoon is dipped into the amlou it should be able to scoop the dip without it being runny.
◊ Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
◊ You may need to stir amlou before each use as the nuts and oil tend to separate.
