Living Rawesome Day #307 Marcona Almond Paste pg. 82 entertaining in the raw
May 26, 2010
This recipe calls for Marcona Almonds. These are considered to be the “Queen of Almonds.” This ingredient is another that I needed to buy and I had never had a Marcona Almond before. The Marcona Almonds are imported from Spain. They are smaller, and softer than the California Almonds. To me they are not as sweet. All almonds are amazing! I love almonds and especially almond butter.
The almond paste is my first step to this recipe. Quick and easy. The only time consuming part will be the wrappers. I have already made these back in September, but I ate them. I need to make them again along with the cream and greens. I have been stalling for a week now, I wanted to order Thai coconuts and I they didn’t have organic, so I waited. I hope they arrive because I need to make a few recipes with them. I guess I will have to buy some tomorrow, it’s just cheaper to buy a case.
Almond Paste Ingredients
marcona almonds
lemon juice
water
olive oil
salt
nutritional yeast
I processed all ingredients in a food processor for a few minutes and it became a beautiful paste. I has a strong scent of olive oil, hopefully it doesn’t taste like olive oil.
Tomorrow, my goal is to finish the rest of this recipe and pg. 120.
I also made Graham crackers today for Sabby’s class tomorrow. They came out so perfect. I still have to make the cream. He asked me to make the grahams for his class. I think it’s great he asked for something raw:). So I will be joining him tomorrow for his presentation and party. I can’t wait:) My baby will be done with 3rd grade this week. They are growing way too fast!
