Simple Sweet and Savory Spiced Walnuts image

These are really simple and use much less butter than some. They are mildly sweet and mildly spicy---those who love super spicy will have to add cayenne, etc. They are a lovely complement to a glass of sherry or a cheese board to be served with wine. They are a great addition to salads and can be chopped and included in any number of sweet and savory pastries.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups walnut halves
1/4 cup brown sugar (dark or lite(may use more if you prefer the nuts sweeter)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
3 -4 roasted garlic cloves
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Have ready a silpat on a sheet pan or a parchment lined pan on a surface which can withstand heat.
  • Mash the garlic with the brown sugar and spices to form a paste.
  • Melt the butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sugar/spice paste to the skillet and, using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir to combine the butter and paste (about a minute or two).
  • Once it is roughly combined, add the walnuts and stir to coat; this will take no more than a minute or two.
  • When the walnuts are coated, transfer them to the silpat or parchment.
  • Spread them out with your wooden spatula and allow to cool.
  • Store the cooled nuts in a tin or jar.
  • Use in salads (butter lettuce, beets, blue cheese and these nuts--super!), or as a nibble with cocktails/apertifs.
