Ingredients
Salted macadamia butter
- 500g macadamias – whole nuts, halves or pieces
- 1 tsp natural salt flakes
To serve
- 8 slices thick cut sourdough bread
- 8 tbsp salted macadamia butter
- 4 lady finger bananas, sliced
- 4 tbsp raw honey
- Natural salt flakes
- Chia seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 140°C.
- Place the macadamias onto a baking tray.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even colour (the macadamias should be a light golden brown).
- Place the roasted macadamias into a food processor.
- Add the salt and blend for 1-2 minutes until the macadamias begin to break down into a paste and release their natural oils. Whether you prefer crunchy or smooth will dictate how long you continue to blend for.
- Once the butter has reached your desired consistency, transfer to a 500ml sterilised, airtight jar and keep in the pantry or refrigerator.
- To serve, arrange warm, toasted sourdough slices onto a serving board. Spread with macadamia butter, and top with slices of banana and a drizzle of honey.
- Garnish with salt flakes and chia seeds. Enjoy!
