The many wonders of almond "pulp"

[heabrook]

I just made some almond milk and I have tons of almond pulp.

Does anyone have a recipe for almond pulp besides almond cheese?

Thanks!

[HappyCat]

I don't have a recipe off the top of my head, but I'm sure you could throw it in a cake or some cookies!

I heard that you could could use it as a chili paste and it is almost the same texture as riccotta cheese. Just add some sun dried tomatoes,cilantro,a little olive oil and spices
I have not tried it but she said that it is very good.

I didnt search for the post, but I think it was from rawpriestess who said "The best (hummus) I've had is a base of almond pulp (left over from making almond milk) mixed with tahini, garlic, lemon, olive oil, coriander, cumin and topped with diced olives, tomatoes, and onions. The almond pulp makes it a bit 'heavy' but it's still my fave hummus recipe." (I copied it to a list of hummus recipes I am trying, but havnet tried this recipe yet)...

Chai / Almond Milk Biscotti

Soak 2 Cups of Almonds overnight. Strain. Put in a blender with 4 Cups of Water. Add fresh ginger root, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, black pepper, raw honey, and blend high and long. Strain pulp and drink milk chai. Divine. Then, take the pulp and spread on to a teflex sheet and out comes almond biscotti.

So, if you have the pulp and it's just plain you could just add the above spices and viola!

^^^ yummm!!!

I give my almond pulp to my dog.

But my hubby Dragggon is still attempting to find a use for this stuff.

I know Victoria Boutenko uses it to make cheesecake, although I personally didn't care for it.

That sounds great :). I have a bunch, so I'm going to make everything that was listed here... the hummus, the biscotti, and some "cheese" too.

Thank you so much. That sounds great. Do you know how long it should be dehydrated for and at what temp?

Doesn't sound like it was you then who posted the hummus recipe.. :D

I dehydrate mine and then grind it into almond flour for cookies, pie crusts, etc.

I never liked almond pulp used in recipes, but dried out and ground into flour works out well!

This is 1/4 of a recipe from Eating Without Heating by the Boutenko teens. They recommend spreading this pate' on soft crackers as burritos. I just spread it on lettuce leaves and made sandwiches with cucumber and tomato slices. Though I'm a newby at this raw food stuff, I loved it! It would be good with salsa, too. Enjoy! Mary

I ended up with almond pulp from making milk from 3/4 c. almonds & 1 1/4 c. water (don't remember how much pulp I ended up with). I then added 2 T. chopped green onion, 1/4 bunch fresh dill (or as much dried as you want), 1 T. olive oil, 1 T. lime juice (you could use lemon), 1/2 t. sea salt, sprinkle of cayenne to taste (opt.).

Sounds great used as a flour, and I'd love to hear how the biscotti turns out!

Check out this thread. I posted a couple of recipes that my local raw foods teacher gave me when I took her classes. The thread also has some suggestions to modify the recipes if you don't like the oiliness/amount of olive oil used in the recipes.

Enjoy! :)

If your kids are still SAD, put some in their cooked oatmeal or pancakes. You can give it to toddlers mixed with just about anything.

I use it for making dehyd cookies...if I'm not using it right away, it freezes well.

I added some to crackers I was making -- along with flax, ground sunflower seeds, soaked sun-dried tomatoes, and seasonings. It give the crackers more of a "cracker" texture rather than just flax seeds. In fact, TP tried some (how was it?).

Hi there!

Do you have to grind into flour right after dehydrating or can you store it until you are ready to grind and use? If you can store it, what kind of shelf life does it have.

Also, is there any way for those of us who would love to catch one of your events this month but can't because we are on the other coast get a copy of that recipe for those wonderful cinnamon rolls?
