What can I do with lots of almonds?

[karmakameleon]

Checked the store cupboard today and I have an astronomical amount of almonds, both whole and ground. There’s about a kilo altogether. So I’m looking for recipes that use substantial quantities, both sweet and savoury options welcome but savoury preferred given the quantity. Any ideas?

You can freeze them
Grind them to make almond flour
Daquoise with raspberries and whipped cream
Chicken breast crusted with ground almonds
In a salad
On cereal

Marzipan - baked is nice, it doesn't just have to be on Christmas cake.
Frangipane tarts with greengages or plums. Praline. Panforte. Spiced nuts. Battenberg cake. A Christmas Simnel cake?

Peshwari nan?

Lots of lovely ideas here

Make nigella's frangipane mince pies?
Bake well tart?

Make almond soup, it's delicious.

Almond flour muffins are v nice, especially with coffee and walnuts in.

Nigella has an amazing Mughlai Chicken Curry using ground almonds.

Cakes using ground almonds?

If you're feeling adventurous you could try making macarons but personally I'd just be eating the whole ones!

Ooh just remembered; you could try spiced or caramelised almonds- could be good for holiday gifts

Obviously you must make battenburg

Almond milk?

gluten free brownies

Eves pudding

My mouth is watering at the thought...

Wow, lots of ideas, thank you everyone! Given that’s it’s so close to Xmas I think I’ll probably use them in some festive baking. I might even try and make my own marzipan.

Does anyone have any good recipes for spiced or caramelised nuts? I do like them but haven’t found a recipe I’m happy with yet.

My favourite cake: Nigellas damp lemon almond cake. Freezes well too.

Is that the one where you boil the lemons whole? I haven’t made that for ages but I love it because it makes the house smell beautiful.

No not a complicated as that one but I do make her clemantine cake which goes like that. Also lovely.

Bakewell tart

English almond macaroons.

I can't remember where I got the recipe originally, but it might be Pru Leith's cookery Bible

4oz ground almonds
6oz sugar (granulated and caster both fine)
1tsb flour
2 egg whites
Vanilla
Jam to decorate

Mix everything except the jam, and then daub onto rice paper on a non stick tray. You can just about get away with a greased teflon baking sheet (one of the removable ones) as an alternative but don't think you can just grease the tray - they are incredibly sticky.

Squash the middle down a bit so you can pop a blob of jam in.

Bake for 12 mins at 180 fan - til just going brown/golden around the edges.

Leave to cool before you attempt to remove.

They are so yummy though look nothing like French macarons.
