Cashews with Sea Salt & Black Pepper Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-4084

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup unsalted cashews
1/4 cup sunflower or peanut oil (Sunflower has a milder taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat and add cashews. Stirring occasionally, cook until cashews are just toasted. Using a slotted spoon, remove cashews from the pan onto a paper towel. Do not wipe the oil from the cashews completely. Just let whatever touches the paper towel absorb but leave the rest so salt and pepper can adhere well. Place cashews in a medium sized bowl and add salt and pepper. Let cool, or better yet, give 24 hours before serving for optimum flavor. Cashews will keep for 2-3 weeks in pantry or up to 3 months in refrigerator. Cook's note: If you find you have added too much salt or pepper, lightly toss in paper towel and let excess just fall off. You want the black pepper flavor to be spicy for this recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup peanut oil for deep-frying
2 cups raw cashew nuts
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a medium nonstick wok or saucepan over medium heat and fry, stirring and turning the cashews until golden, about 1 minute. Before removing them from the wok, hold them for a few seconds between the slotted spatula and the sides of the wok to drain out as much oil as possible. (Do not drain on paper towels, or the spices will not adhere to the nuts.)2. Transfer to a bowl and quickly mix in the slat and pepper and toss well, making sure the cashews are well-coated.3. Serve them while they are still warm (but not hot, or they will be soft from the oil), or cool to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container and store 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature or about 3 months in the refrigerator.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
