Praline Paste

• 1 cup toasted, skinned hazelnuts
• 3 tablespoons unflavored vegetable oil, such as safflower oil

1. Place the nuts and the vegetable oil in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
2. Pulse the mixture until it becomes a paste (about 2 minutes).
3. In a tightly covered container, praline paste will keep for 2 months in the refrigerator or 4 months in the freezer.
4. Bring it to room temperature before using.
5. Substitute any toasted nuts for the hazelnuts.
6. When other nuts are used, this confection is called a nut butter.
