The nutty dip that fills in for a favorite.
Years ago, I first learned about this concept when one of my neighbor’s mothers-in-law came for Pesach. Since then, it’s been a Pesach staple. While it was originally published in Passover Made Easy, I’ve double the recipe here because it makes it much easier to blend. But–I didn’t double the water. Add the water a little at a time, depending on how much liquid the almonds accept and how thick or thin you prefer it to be.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine oil, almonds, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and parsley.
Pulse until very smooth.
Slow add in the water, thinning the mixture to desired consistency.

Can I freeze it?
For those who do not consume gebrokts, is the water in the recipe not a concern when eating on matzah?
You cant eat this with matza if you dont eat gebrochts.
Thank you. That was my instinct. @BCP- Perhaps there should be a small disclaimer in the recipe since a large percentage of this site’s readers do not eat gebrochts (and would be preparing this as a dip for matzah).
U need to ask ur lor. There r many variations to gebrochs minhag
hey, can you pls show a dip that doesn’t have pepper and garlic I can’t use that but I’m looking for a good dip recipe
