Almond Cremolata

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Almonds

    In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add sliced almonds and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are lightly toasted and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until butter is melted and evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Cool and Blend

    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Tahini

    Add tahini to the almond mixture and blend until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the cremolata to a serving dish and refrigerate until needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
