Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 cup raw almonds, blanched and patted dry
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • *Toblanch almonds, place them in enough water to completely cover.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Drain and allow to cool, or rinse under cold tap water for rapid cooling.
  • Pinch skins between thumb and forefinger at the base of each almond.
  • Skins will slip off readily.
  • Place all the ingredients in a food processor, and process for several minutes until the almonds are very finely ground.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
  • Note: This is very easy to make if you have a food processor.
  • If you do not have one, you can grind it in an electric nut, spice, or coffee mill.
  • Blenders are not recommednded for grinding almonds, since more time and frequent stopping to stir the mixture are necessary.
