This Nigella recipe is taken from her popular Channel 4 series Nigella Bites, based on her popular book How To Eat.

More picking food, and ludicrously easy to make. You might think that nuts, untampered with, are perfect picking food as they are, and up to a point you'd be right. But try these, modestly adapted from the recipe for spiced nuts served at the Union Square Café in New York and you'll truly know what perfection is.

Ingredients

  • 500g assorted unsalted nuts, including: peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary (from 2 8cm sprigs)
  • half tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 teasps dark muscavado sugar
  • 2 teasps Malden salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Method: How to cook the Union Square Café's bar nuts

1.Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas mark 4.

2.Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven till they become light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

3.In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, muscavado sugar, salt and melted butter.

4.Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts with the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.

  1. Hi and thanks for this recipe! Loved it! It is especially tasty when warm, so I kept popping it into the microwave to warm it up, and this worked fine to, post-toasting!
