Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Directions
- In a medium sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over low heat and add ¾ cup of the almonds, along with the onion, garlic and oregano. Season with salt and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until the garlic and onions soften.

Add the water a few tablespoons at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with remaining almonds.
