Ever since I first made Union Square Nuts thanks to Nigella Lawson via her Aussie Almost-Alter Ego Lorraine I just can't do 'regular nuts' anymore.
So tonight my friends, to celebrate the end of the office working week, and the commencement of the weekend I urge you all to grab a glass of your favourite poison (now I'm off the antibiotics I will surely be joining you!) and quickly knock up some of these. You'll be licking those lips as these leave a bit a 'zing' which I love. Not too much mind you - juuuuuuuuuuuuuuussst right.
2 cups Nuts of your choice (peanut, pecan, macadamia and walnuts were my choice but any or a combination of these or maybe some cashews would be fabulous too)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil2 tb salt flakes or finely ground sea salt
1 1/2 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp lime zest (1/2 a limes' worth)
1 tsp tabsco sauce
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Method:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees c
Shell nuts if necessary and then lay on baking tray
Roast in oven for 8 minutes, then shake the pan and roast for a further 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and place in a bowl, pour over remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Eat hot or cool!

Oh they sound delicious!
My poison is champagne - or a kir royale - or a cocktail... But I'm with you, baked, flavoured nuts are utterly delish and you can never go back. I also love a bit of butter, brown sugar, salt and fresh rosemary - whatever takes my fancy (or is in the cupboard...)
Now you've got me feeling all nutty!
hehe these are like nut crack aren't they! Just so seriosuly hard to put down :P Hope you, A and the girls have a great weekend! x
These nuts look really good. I love the taste of macadamias. They are so waxy and gorgeous.
