    Nuts: Mary's Spiced Nuts


    Source of Recipe


    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.


    Makes 2 cups
