Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma lived near a whole foods store that carried ground almonds (sometimes labeled "almond meal"), so she sometimes used that instead of macadamia nuts to make this chicken recipe. She thought it was just as flavorful when made with almonds, and buying the nuts already ground saved her having to grind them.
