AKA Nigella’s Nuts.

As it’s been the festive season I’ve been knocking these up almost weekly, and numerous friends have asked for the recipe. Delicious with a little tipple to welcome your guests, they’re irresistible.

I’ve taken the liberty of adjusting the recipe slightly as I think they benefit from just a little more coating than Nigella Lawson’s version. I’m sure she won’t mind.

Ingredients:

• 500g mixed nuts (unsalted)
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped (about 2 tbsp)
• 2 tbsp dark brown muscovado sugar
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp flaky sea salt
• 25g unsalted butter (softened/room temperature)

Method:

1. Start by toasting the nuts on a baking tray for 10 minutes.
2. Mix the other ingredients together in a large bowl and add the hot nuts.
3. Stir thoroughly to coat the nuts and serve warm.
