Cómo preparar Amlou

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roast 1 cup of whole almonds for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool slightly.
Add the roasted almonds to a mortar and pestle. Grind into a coarse paste.
Gradually add 1/4 cup argan oil (or grilled sesame oil) in a thin, steady stream while continuously grinding and mixing, similar to making mayonnaise. This will create a smooth and creamy texture.
Stir in 1/4 cup of honey, continuing to grind until well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust honey to your sweetness preference.
Transfer the amlou to a serving bowl. Serve with freshly baked bread, croissants, or enjoy as a spread for your favorite desserts.
