I needed walnut paste for a dish a few years ago. I found it recently at the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. I ended up substituting tahini for a later recipe, but following was what I found: Food Processor - The regular sized on is WAY too big to be effective. The mini might work but I did not have one at that time. Coffee Grinder - This worked perfectly, however I added 1/8 teaspoon of oil (I used peanut oil) when the sound of the grinder changed. I guess my recipe came out perfectly, it was my first time making it. Meat grinder - Nuts will ruin it. Mandolin or Herb Mill - The oily parts of the nuts get stuck. Is this a dish from Bon Appetit?

You can see the product which allows you to grind to the consistency you desire/require. I recommend that you do the process in batches. If you overload the device some of the product will turn to a powder before the rest are ground. You will get some nut oil when processing but this will not hurt the processor. Hope this helps.

You could use a coffee grinder then clean it really well after. I don't know what the nut oils would hurt if the coffee oils don't hurt it. It is hard to get them clean tho. I don't think a meat grinder will work, I don't think it will grind it fine enough. A mini food processor would be good, a regular food processer if you don’t have a mini prep.
