Stumped for what to buy Dad for Father’s
Day this year? Why not create something
edible for him instead?
If Dad adores sweets, he’s sure to
appreciate some home-baked treats such as brownies, oatmeal cookies or a fruit
filled pie.
If he loves to barbeque, why not create
your own spice rub or try making Chef Ted Reader’s amazing “bone dust” spice
rub (www.tedreader.com) for grilled steaks, chicken and pork?
If Dad enjoys watching “the game” with a
cold beer and some snacks, try making your own gourmet snack mix or spiced nut
mixture. Accordingly, I’ve decided to
share the recipe for my “secret spiced nuts” (as we’ve made a move to balsamic
candied nuts at the shop).
Warning – these spiced nuts are highly
addictive – they were on our food shop menu for seven years – all the way back
to when we opened the doors 2004!
Secret
Spiced Nuts
ingredients
·
4 (four) cups
nuts (we used a mixture of pecans and walnuts)
·
4 (four)
tablespoons unsalted butter· 3 (three) tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
· 3 (three) tablespoons sugar
· 1 (one) tablespoon chili powder
· 1/2 (one-half) teaspoon salt
· 1 (one) teaspoon dried oregano
· 1 (one) teaspoon dried cumin
method
1.
Preheat oven to
350 F. In a medium sized saucepan set
over medium heat, melt butter. Add all
other ingredients except nuts and whisk well until combined.
2.
Transfer
butter-spice mixture to a large mixing bowl and add nuts. Stir well until all nuts are evenly coated.
3.
Bake on a
parchment lined baking sheet until just slightly sticky – make sure to stir
nuts well, every 5 minutes or so. It
should take about 25-30 minutes in total.
