Mary


List of Ingredients




3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cups whole almonds, blanched
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons coarse salt
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes



Recipe



1. In a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the almonds & stir with a wooden spoon, coating each thoroughly with oil. Sprinkle with ½ cup sugar & continue to stir until the almonds become golden brown & the sugar caramelizes, about 4 minutes.

2. Remove the pan from heat & pour almonds into a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the remaining sugar, salt, cumin & red-pepper flakes over the nuts & toss well.

3. Pour the spiced nuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet & separate with a wooden spoon. Allow nuts to cool for about 30 minutes.

Spiced nuts can be stored up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
