almond
A list of favorite almond recipes, and the ways I like to put almonds to use in the kitchen.
Green Smoothie
The green smoothie recipe from Tara O'Brady's cookbook, Seven Spoons. An invigorating, bottom's up, morning kickstarter made from kale, almond butter, almond milk, banana, and pineapple.
Sprout Salad
For anyone wanting to work more sprouts into their meals, this is one of the best salads I've made in a long time. It includes mung bean sprouts, avocado, arugula, yogurt, and toasted almonds. So many good ingredients and incredibly tasty!
Broccolini with Scallions
This is a fantastic way to enjoy broccolini resulting in a big bowl of green! The broccolini is tossed with big croutons, lots of sliced scallions, mozzarella, toasted almonds, and a hit of serrano pepper.
Almond Cake
This simple almond cake is the understated pinch hitter of my cake repertoire. Made with almond paste, almond extract, and a bit of citrus zest, it’s equally at home at a dinner part or picnic.
Roasted Delicata Squash
One of the best ways to make roasted delicata squash, inspired by my friend Molly Watson. This recipe uses the pretty, scalloped-edged cross-cuts of the delicata squash, a few small potatoes, chopped kale, radishes, almonds and a bold miso harissa dressing.
Chocolate Energy Bites
Good-quality dark chocolate packed with lots of chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruit make these a favorite nutritious and energizing snack. Big thumbs up.
Mung Bean Yoga Bowl
The kind of power bowl that keeps you strong - herb-packed yogurt dolloped over a hearty bowl of mung beans and quinoa, finished with toasted nuts and a simple paprika oil.
California Barley Bowl
From Megan Gordon’s cookbook, Whole Grain Mornings, a super grain bowl. Plump barley grains are tossed with sprouts (or greens), nuts, avocado, a bit of cheese and dolloped with a simple yogurt sauce.
Green Bean Salad with Peaches
This green bean salad with peaches can anchor many summer meals. It features caramelized onions, toasted nuts, dates, a jolt of serrano pepper and a unifying oregano-garlic drizzle.
Shaved Fennel Salad
This could very well be my favorite salad recipe from Super Natural Every Day - shaved fennel, arugula, zucchini coins, feta, toasted almonds.
