- Add the roasted nuts (80g), deseeded chilli (1), peeled ginger (2cm piece) and peeled garlic cloves (1-2) to the bowl. Chop Speed 7 / 3 seconds.
- Add the honey (2 tsp), apple cider vinegar (2 tsp), tamari (2 tsp), lime juice (from 1/2 lime) and salt (1 tsp) to the bowl. Program 1 minute / Speed 3. While the blades are turning, slowly pour the reserved olive oil onto the lid, letting it drizzle into the bowl. Set aside.
