Aussie Spiced Nuts
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.
Fried Almonds
A delicious and extremely quick-to-make recipe which I was delighted to find in the October-November 2008 issue of ‘dish’. As I don’t like hot and spicy flavours, I made these with a mild paprika. Those who do like foods hot and spicy might want to add cayenne pepper. Please, do adjust the spices to meet your taste preferences. As almonds boost energy levels particularly at those times such as early afternoon when – given the choice – many of us may choose to have a siesta, I intend to have these on hand in a container at all times at work as a quick energy-boosting snack. I’ve found that even half a dozen almonds can provide the boost needed at such times, and these will offer a more flavoursome alternative to plain almonds.
