I love to make my own nut butter using my Champion juicer, I usually use a combination of almond, cashews and peanuts. Awhile back, a friend ask if I could make him some walnut butter. My first reaction was, no, as I have never heard of it or seen it anywhere. Ever the intrepid chef, I did a quick search and found a great recipe that you can make with just a food processor. I have been making it ever since. It's slightly sweet and unctuous, great on cracker or toast, a nice change from the usual nut butters. Walnuts are a great source of Omega 3 fats, antioxidants and vitamins.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup raw, unsalted walnuts.
1) Preheat oven to 300 F.
2) Line a rimmed cookie sheet or pan with parchment or a silicon baking mat.
3) Place walnuts of the pan and bake for 12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake them.
4) Add the hot nuts to your food process and whiz for 1 minute, scrape down the sides and continue to process until they become runny. It may take a while depending on the size of your food processor. Be patient. Eventually they should turn into a smooth paste. You can add a dash of salt if you like.
5) Store in a jar in the fridge and enjoy.
