Alas, no picture of the nuts. Next time I make them I'll take a picture. Just a shot of the ride we were on when we rediscovered the barter system to pay each other back for things. "I owe you two pastries for dinner last night, but you owe me three pastries for pulling so long in the wind"... Not that these nuts are pastries, but we biked to Callie's restaurant where they make these nuts. So there is almost a connection.
Made with Love Toasted Nuts
(Thanks to Callie)
1 C pecan pieces
1 C whole almonds
1 C pistachios
1 egg white
1 T curry powder
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp salt
1 C white sugar
Whisk egg white until very frothy. Coat nuts. Blend spices and sugar separately and then coat nuts. Bake in 400 degree pre-heated oven on sheet for ~7-9 minutes (until golden brown).
My suggestion for their use (other than just eating them):
1-3C mixed baby salad greens of mesclun or whatever you like best in a salad
2 tbs crumbled mild feta
3 tbs nuts
1/2 Asian Pear
1-2 tbs maple mustard dressing
The dressing: mix together some dijon mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil. If its too strong, add some water. Adjust the three parts as needed to get a taste you like. As usual, salt the sald before dressing.
