almond Recipes
A list of favorite almond recipes, and the ways I like to put almonds to use in the kitchen.
Super Tasty, Toasted Almond Sable Cookies
Toasty, nutty sable cookies made with whole wheat flour, sliced almonds, currents and salted butter. And a peek at some of my favorite vintage cookie cutters.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes with Saffron Garlic Butter
So good. These are the BEST mashed potatoes, made with a special twist. Buttery peaks and cloud-like potatoes, saffron garlic butter, toasted almonds, coriander, and a sesame sprinkle.
Genius Kale Salad
There is a special kale salad recipe in the Food52 Genius Recipes cookbook. A single kale salad that ran the gauntlet, beating out all others, for a slice of limelight.
Simple Sautéed Zucchini
To make simple sautéed zucchini, coins of zucchini are browned in a pan. The thing that makes this version special is the toasted gold slivers of garlic combined with lots of fresh dill or scallions. Finish with a sprinkling of almonds for a bit of crunch.
Summer Melon Salad
A simple summer melon salad. Sweet chunks of melon combine with toasted almonds for crunch, serrano chiles and scallions counter the sweet, there's small dollops of crème fraîche, cilantro, and a wash of sake. A real summer refresher.
A Really Great Coconut Corn Salad
Butter a skillet add corn, fresh thyme, red onions, toasted almonds and coconut, and finish with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice...
Chocolate Frosted Almond Butter Toast with Banana
My current go-to toast. The best part? It’s the frosting. Which isn’t really frosting. It’s almond butter, yogurt, and cacao powder whipped together into a billowy spread. When I’m craving a quick, healthful breakfast, or just need an afternoon snack, this fits the bill.
Homemade Strawberry Almond Milk
A creamy, fresh homemade strawberry almond milk recipe. It really is as good as it sounds.
Deviled Eggs
A beautiful and delicious deviled egg recipe made with an herb-flecked filling and topped with toasted almonds.
Limoncello Macaroons
A limoncello macaroon recipe along with a batch of photos from a cabin weekend in Mendocino. The cookies are golden-crusted, powder-coated, almond-citrus gems spiked with limoncello liqueur my sister made for me.
