Compressed Pear, Baked Almond ‘Feta’ & Pomegranate Molasses Salad
Ingredients
- the almond feta i’ll put the recipe below?
- almond feta ✨
- 1 cup blanched almonds
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 4-7 tbsp water
- soak almonds for a few hours.
- drain and blend with lemon juice, oil, water + salt.
Preparation
You can choose how smooth/creamy you want it. I made it 4 times and I preferred the more course texture therefore less blended. It’s okay if you add too much water to help blend it because you put it in a cheese cloth bag thing and let the excess water drain out without squeezing it too much. Allow it to drain over a sieve for a while - in the fridge is ideal. It should be firmer & you are able to put into a baking dish with parchment & a dash of oil & be able to shape it into a circle/square. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden.
So the thing is - I read recipes online and realized I didn’t have that amount of time in my exam to soak the nuts and set in the fridge so instead I soaked the nuts in boiling water for 20 min and I skipped the draining liquid part & just put the mix into a baking dish and it worked out well soooo you’re choice if you have time to do it properly
