Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw Brazil nuts
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Steps to Prepare:
Step 1: Toasting the Nuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw Brazil nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 10-12 minutes until they're lightly browned and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 2: Blending the Goodness
Let the toasted nuts cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender. Optionally, add a pinch of salt for flavor. Blend the nuts for several minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. At first, they'll turn into a fine meal, then gradually clump together to form a smooth paste. Be patient during this process to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3: Storage
Once the Brazil nut butter reaches your preferred consistency, transfer it to a clean jar or container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Remember to give it a stir before each use to maintain its creamy texture.
