Organic almond butter is orgasmically-delicious. It's the key component in my favorite pasta dish, as well as some magnificent gluten-free cookies. You can buy the butter at better supermarkets, or produce it right in your own kitchen. I make it this way:
First, grab a pound of unsalted organic, dry roasted almonds.
Why unsalted? Because you might not want any salt in your almond butter and banana sandwich.
That's why.
Tip the nuts into your food processor...
And press the "pulse" button several times...
Until the nuts resemble coarsely-ground coffee.
Now press the "on" button, and whiz the works until they mass on the blade, forming a ball.
Next, grab a yellow spatula, and use it to scape up any bits of that have stuck to the bottom of the bowl.
Then spin the butter for another minute or so, until you end up with a shimmering, smooth substance.
Oh, baby. Almond butter is so awesomely-awesome you'll want to try it on everything. Spread it on bread, crackers, pasta. Or, just do what I sometimes do, and lick it directly from your fingers.
