Toasted nuts, almonds or pistachios, ground in a food processor or powerful blender for a few minutes until they release their oil and become a spread; then oil, honey, chocolate or spices, and more processing until the spread is smooth.
Grind the almonds in a food processor for about 5 minutes, until a smooth nut butter forms.
⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
💡At first the nuts grind into crumbs and then into clumps: keep grinding, stopping now and then to scrape down the sides, until the oils are released and the mass turns into a paste.
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)

Add the salt and process 2–3 more minutes, until the spread is smooth and even.
