Roasted Almond Herb Sauce
This is a spin-off from a walnut dressing I learned while cooking in Ireland.
First you roast some almonds.
5-10 minutes at 350 degrees will do.
Chuck 'em in a food processor... grind them into a coarse meal.
Get out your green herbs, and add a lot. The more, the better! You're looking at parsley.
Grind the almonds and herbs into a finer meal.
Then get out your oil and vinegar. Everything here goes unmeasured. You have to use your intuition. Oil to vinegar should stay at a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio. You want enough liquid added so that when you blend it again, the product will be runny. If it’s too runny, it’s a dressing. If it’s on the thicker side, it’s a sauce. Big deal. They’re both delicious. Also, find your dijon (1 TB) and black pepper.
Oil, vinegar, dijon, and black pepper. (Salt optional).
Blend it up!
Nice and smooth.
This is awesome served on… everything. Over rice or quinoa, on toast, on boiled/baked potatoes, on salad…
