Zero Waste Homemade Almond milk - Part 2

Hello! Here comes the second part of my Zero Waste Homemade Almond milk. As you might remember, we've already milked the mesh bag and sipped delicious fresh almond milk. In the past I did not know what to to with ground almonds. I added them to muffins douhgs and apple pie-fillings. Both usages were ok, but lacked sophistication.

Out of the blue I found the perfect usage: ground almonds are a perfect substitute for bread crumbs.

I spread them on a plate so they can dry
Heat a pan, add one Tablespoon of oil/fat and roast the almonds.

I garnish the dish with a tablespoon of almond puree. (not pictured) The almond puree has a texture very similar to tahina: runny but not liquid.

I ate a big plate of Brussels sprouts, no potatoes, no rice, no noodles, no other vegetables, no tofu or seitan or tempeh. Just the sprouts and the almonds (ground and pureed).

The dish probably reads and looks like nothing, but it does taste really nice.
Satisfying in more than just one way.

  1. Sorry, wenn ich hier mal eben auf deutsch antworte. Ist nur schneller. Ich find das mehr als interessant mit der veganen Ernährung. Die Mandelnummer von gestern (und heute) werde ich ausprobieren.

  2. Hallo Susi! Deutsch ist hier total in Ordnung :-) Ich freu mich über deinen Kommentar und erst recht über dein Interesse!
    Das "almond puree" ist übrigens Mandelmus. Seltsame Übersetzung ... lg, Paula

  3. Liebe Paula, ich verstehe nicht, wieso brauchst du Bröselersatz?

    1. Karfiol (Blumenkohl), Kohlsprossen (Kohlröschen) schmecken mit Brösel einfach viel besser als ohne :-)

    1. Hy Anonymous! It's about "zero waste": why produce Semmeln und grind them to Brösel when I have the "waste" almond crumbs at my hands?

      Giftig? Not that I know.
