Total estimated time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool before proceeding. Toasting enhances their flavor and adds a rich, nutty essence to the overall dish.
Transfer the cooled almonds to the food processor. Blend on high until creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes. The food processor’s powerful blades and steady motor make quick work of transforming solid nuts into smooth nut butter.
Use the blender for this step. Blend sun-dried tomatoes, one clove of garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper on medium speed until smooth. The blender’s ability to create a silky texture is key for a velvety pesto sauce.
Return to the food processor, now cleaned. Add cooked chickpeas, 100ml reserved chickpea water, 15ml lemon juice, one tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed. Using the food processor once more showcases its flexibility in creating both solid mixtures and creamy dips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine a scoop of each creation: almond butter, sun-dried tomato pesto, and chickpea hummus. Swirl them together lightly for an eye-catching presentation. Serve with a platter of freshly cut vegetables, crackers, or bread.
Congratulations on optimizing your food processor and blender to execute multiple recipes seamlessly. By mastering these tools, you not only save valuable time but also elevate your culinary creations. Remember, these appliances are not just for single-use tasks—they are your gateway to efficiency and innovation in the kitchen. Keep experimenting with different combinations and techniques, and you’re sure to enjoy both the process and the delicious results.
