A deliciously different recipe for spiced nuts which I came across this afternoon in the current issue of the Australian magazine ‘Woman’s Day’, and with my usual impatience just had to make this evening, with a few modifications – minus the chilli powder to meet our taste preferences – but I’d certainly make these complete with the chilli powder for friends, and have left the chilli powder in as an ingredient. In making these, I increased the garlic from 1 to 2 cloves, and I minced it rather than crushing it. I used cashews, macadamias and hazelnuts. Why, oh why do I keep buying all these magazines each week? Spot on if you guessed to check out their latest recipes! And it was worth buying this week’s just to have found this recipe! These would be demolished very quickly if served with other appetisers and drinks, and they’d be a great addition to salads and stir-fries – if they lasted that long! 🙂 Don’t add salt – or add it sparingly – if your nuts are already salted.
My friend Vicki is from Australia, and my daughter Adiya adores her. Possibly the only thing she adores more than Vicki are Vicki’s cookies (only kidding Vicki, she does love you more). These are basically ANZAC biscuits, but a bit different. Vicki uses slightly more coconut than what I’ve seen in the ANZAC biscuit recipes here on Zaar, and since golden syrup is hard to get here in Israel, she substitutes maple syrup. It’s not often my Didi brings home recipes from other mothers, so take notice of this one, it’s good! Thanks, Vicki, for sharing these with Didi (and me).
