How To Cook Recipes For Homemade Almond Oil - Recipe

Almond oil is used to make very tasty healthy desserts because it is a rich source of protein, minerals, healthy fats and vitamins A and E. It is used as a healthy substitute for refined cooking oils. Almond oil can be used to flavor roasted meat, cream soups, ready meals or used to prepare salad dressings. To make homemade almond oil, you need a blender, press or mortar and a little patience. Here are some recipes on how to make almond oil to eat at home.

Homemade almond oil

• 3 teaspoons raw almonds

Put the almonds in a blender, close the lid and mash at high speed for 20-30 minutes. Periodically turn off the appliance to return the oil that has escaped the walls using a spatula or wooden spoon. Almond oil is ready when its consistency is smooth and creamy. It will take longer than you expected, but be patient because the end result is worth it.

Transfer the prepared almond oil to a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator.

Recipe for making almond oil without a blender

If you do not have electrical appliances, use a mortar to grind the almonds as finely as possible.

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Placed in a grinder or mixer, the almonds are ground to a powder. The same powder form can be achieved with the help of a mortar and pestle. Try to grind the almonds as finely as possible. Add olive oil or other butter and if the dough is firm, add one or more tablespoons of butter. Keep stirring until the two ingredients are well mixed.

Store almond oil in a dry place for at least 2 weeks. After about 14 days, the almond oil separates from the top of the surface. Use a sieve to strain the butter. Make sure that no pieces of nuts remain in the mixture.

Use the separated oil to prepare your favorite healthy recipes.

Homemade almond oil with roasted almonds

• 500 grams of raw almonds

Spread a sheet of parchment paper in a pan and pour the almonds in it, scattering them over the entire surface. Bake in a preheated 120 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Transfer the hot almonds to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and liquid. This will take a long time, be patient.

Then transfer to an airtight glass jar and close with a lid. Store in a dry and cool place until the almond oil begins to separate on the surface. The longer you store the ground almonds, the more oil will be released.

Pass the separated almond oil through a sieve and use to prepare desserts, dressings or sprinkle on ready meals.

Enjoy your meal!

Tips for preparing, storing and using homemade almond oil:

• Roasted almonds are processed much faster, but we recommend using raw nuts. You could also add sea salt to taste, herbs or various extracts to your liking.
• Store almond oil in a glass jar at room temperature for about 2 weeks. This should be enough time to separate the almond oil.
• To get the most out of the oil, tilt the jar and let it drip into another container. Another option is to use a sieve or strainer to separate the oil.
• It is recommended not to cook with unrefined almond oil, but to use it for flavoring, so as not to destroy its useful nutrients. Refined almond oil is suitable for cooking. It is more resistant to high temperatures than unrefined.
