What can I do with too much ground and sliced almonds?

[StepAwayFromCake]

I've got about 350g ground almonds and about 150g sliced almonds. I don't think they're stale, exactly, just don't taste nice. They're well within date.

It totally goes against the grain to throw them away, so how can I use them up? Needs to be something fairly flavoursome, not marzipan.

The only thing I can think of is Bakewell Tart. Any other suggestions? Perhaps something savoury?

[Katsite]

Not savory but my suggestion is muesli. I chuck nuts oats fruit and yogurt together at night and eat the next morning. Or any time of the day really.

Romesco sauce! I saw it on Saturday kitchen and it's a revelation.

Blend roasted red peppers from a jar with garlic, salt, pepper and enough ground almonds to make it thick.

Spoon over meat or fish and stick in the oven. There was a near fight over the last turkey steak when I made this for the kids.

Bakewell tart ?

[FlaviaAlbia]

They do go off so if they don't taste nice I wouldn't bother doing anything to them. Whatever you make will be tainted by the nuts.

Chicken korma or add to pesto

[MissSmiley]

I make crumble with half ground almonds half flour and you could put the flaked almonds on top

Grain free nutty granola, granola bars, chicken tikka!

Chocolate brownies.

Chocolate cake. I make a Nigella one (I think it is a Nigella) with almonds instead of flour. It's soooooo good.

[StepAwayFromCake]

OMG the Romesco sauce sounds awesome!

I make a small amount, if the not so nice taste comes through then I will give up on them.

If they're stale, they will taste bad cooked, too. If I'm just fussy, they should taste fine cooked.

Jamie Olivers trappani sauce which is a mix of a napoli and pesto and uses ground alomomds. Basically you cook tomatoes, onion garlic and puree them adding the almonds and parmesan.

I make a take on Salsa Mojo Rojo with ground almonds rather than breadcrumbs ( its a sauce from the Canaries you put on potatoes but i use it on allsorts of stuff and for dipping.. I am a 'bung it' cook so cant tell you proper measurements ..but you are intending to have something looser than hummus).

You need a jar of red peppers (or roast 6 or 8 red peppers and skin them ,) put in blender.
add 150g ground almonds
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 tspns of smoked paprika
a big glug of extra virgin olive oil
tablespoon of red vinegar
sea salt and black pepper

Blend.. and taste, add more paprika . oil, vinegar almonds etc as liked (maybe a splash of tabasco )

( you may well need more liquid.. if using a jar of roasted red peppers i'd put some of the liquid from those in also , but so tend to a start with less liquid, if its too runny add more ground almonds

This is great as a dip with new potatoes . on fish, on bread and on loads of other things.. Its also really nice if you add in roasted tomatoes also ( youll need less liquid if you do.. ) or a dollop of sun dried tomato paste.

Sorry its not more precise .. . it does keep well in fridge if you can stop yourself eating it!)

[FlaviaAlbia]

They don't go stale so much as bitter. It's the oil in them that goes off.

[Genghi]

Use it in pesto
Boil with milk sugar and saffron for an Indian inspired milkshake
Use it to thicken sauces
Use it to make macarons

[Genghi]

Oh and you could just keep whizzing it in a food processor and turn it into nut butter

[Onthehighseas]

Make this with the ground almonds.

It's divine.

Mary Berrys cherry Bakewell cupcakes are epic. They will use up your ground almonds.

[RallyRoundTheFlagBoys]

[RallyRoundTheFlagBoys]

Pineapple turkey meatball curry (bbc good food) is fab too.

[franke]

Oh yes, the chocolate cake. It's called Caprese. Or add to creamy curry sauces just before serving.

[WeAllHaveWings]

BeRo Macroons. Loved making and eating these as a child.
