Instructions:

Mix pecans and flax seed in a food processor. Process on highest speed until it reaches a dry, pasty consistency. You may have to stop and scrape the sides back into the processor. Once it reaches a dry, pasty consistency, poor in the extra virgin olive oil (update: It is best to start with half the oil and see how it looks.  You may not need it all.). Process until it reaches the consistency of creamy peanut butter. Spoon into a container and refrigerate. Makes approximately 1 and 2/3 cups.

Approximate nutritional value per two tablespoons: 126 calories, 12g fat, 1g saturated fat, 2g monounsaturated fats, 257g omega-3 fatty acids, 2g carbs, 1g sugar, 2g fiber, 1g protein. (These are rough estimates and are not meant to be scientific.)

This is absolutely divine on a Fuji or similar apple.

* I used a 500 watt food processor. This will also work in a good blender, but it takes much longer, must be stirred frequently, and really taxes the blender.
