I love to give away these spicy nuts with chili and honey, not only for Christmas, they are always well received.
The original recipe was a little different and provided that the nuts be made in the pan. I think the nuts in the oven are much more evenly warm and combine better with the spices. Maybe they will taste you too.
Ingredients for a total of approx. 600 g of nuts
- 500 g mixed whole untreated nuts, for example whole shelled almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds
- 100 g pine nuts
- Spices: salt, sweet paprika, chilli powder, cumin, curry powder
- honey
preparation
- Place the nuts on a baking tray on baking paper. Preheat the oven to about 120 degrees. Meanwhile, cook a packet of unpeeled almonds for about 2 minutes, quench cold and peel off the skin. Dry the almonds and add to the mixed nuts. Roast these nuts in the oven at about 100 - 150 degrees, after a few minutes, try to see if they are warm and browned. Watch well and remember that they are tanning something. After a while, add a packet of pine nuts (not all the time because they turn brown very quickly).
- A spice mixture of your own choice or one of 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, 1/2 teaspoon finely ground or finely chopped chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin or curry powder evenly sieve with a fine sieve. As an alternative to chili powder you can also drizzle chili oil over it. Salt. Give the honey to taste over it, do not use too sparingly, from the calories this does not really matter anymore. Mix well with two spoons and season to taste. I've just tried again and spiced or honey over it.
- Put in the hot oven again for a few minutes. The spices should be nice and warm, give off their aroma and combine with the honey and nuts, but not too dark. Take out, let cool. Transfer to suitable containers, such as mason jars or jam jars.
No idea how long they would last. So far, such a metal sheet was always given away within one or two weeks and eaten itself.
