{"product_id":"flaked-almonds-1kg","title":"Somerset Foodie Flaked Almonds, 1kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlaked almonds are one of those ingredients that work harder than you'd expect for the space they take up in the cupboard - and our 1kg bag is for the cook who's already worked that out. Sliced thin from blanched whole almonds, they have a pale, even cut and a sweet, gently nutty flavour that turns delicate and biscuity the moment they hit a hot pan or a warm oven. A kilo is the right size for proper home bakers, festive kitchens, and anyone who likes the look and bite of toasted almonds on enough things that a smaller bag was always running out at the wrong moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the size to reach for when you're cooking generously. Bake your way through a tier of wedding cake, a tray of financiers, a batch of buttery almond croissants or a Christmas-worth of stollen, mince pies and Dundee cake with plenty left over for everyday granola. They also earn their keep across South Asian and Middle Eastern feasts, finishing a slow-cooked lamb biryani or a saffron and raisin pilaf for a crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipes to try using this ingredient:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Recipe for Moroccan Lamb with Spiced Couscous and Tahini\" href=\"https:\/\/somersetfoodie.com\/blogs\/recipes\/moroccan-lamb-with-spiced-couscous-and-tahini\"\u003eMoroccan Lamb with Spiced Couscous \u0026amp; Tahini\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1kg pack - better value per gram and fewer reorders for keen bakers, festive kitchens and bigger households\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven, pale flakes from blanched whole almonds - they toast cleanly and look beautiful on a finished bake\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine multi-cuisine ingredient that pulls its weight in French classics, Indian and Middle Eastern feast dishes, and British baking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle, sweet almond flavour that complements rather than overpowers - a real team player in the pantry\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free, plant-based and a good source of vitamin E, protein and healthy fats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo toast in volume, spread 200g across a baking tray and toast at 160°C for 6-8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until evenly pale gold.
