Almond

A term used to describe a dish or dessert that contains almonds as the main ingredient or predominant flavor. It is often used to describe dishes such as pollo almendrado, which is a savory dish made with chicken and a creamy almond sauce, or desserts such as bizcocho almendrado, which is a sponge cake made with almond flour instead of wheat flour. Almonds are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, fiber and other important nutrients, so adding them to dishes can provide additional nutritional benefits and add delicious flavor.
