Ingredients

100 grams uncooked cashew nuts

1/2 tablespoon light tasting vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon chilli powder

Preparation

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees centigrade.

Distribute the cashew nuts evenly on a baking tray.

Roast the cashews for 8 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl place the oil, salt, black pepper and chilli powder. Mix well to create a paste.

When the cashews are ready, add them to the mixing bowl and stir well to ensure they are all fully coated in the paste.

Now return them to the baking tray and roast for a further 2 minutes.

Let the cashews cool as they will have a slightly soft texture if eaten when warm.

Serve with beer (or cocktails for the more sophisticated).

Oooh- yum! My uncle makes something like these and they're addictive! He adds a little sugar, but your version sounds perfect for munching on while sipping a cold lager.

About

This recipe for chilli roasted cashew nuts is the perfect snack for munching while watching a Hollywood classic (I suggest Casablanca or All About Eve) and nursing a hangover. The crunchiness of the cashews combine with the salt and spice to create a full flavoured snack that is scarily addictive. Be warned - the recipe below is hot. If you have an aversion to your mouth burning (in a good way) then reduce the quantities of chilli and black pepper.
