Spicy Pecan Nuts

Celebrate National Nut Day this Saturday 22nd October, with some delicious Spicy Pecan Nuts... This recipe from our friends at Good Housekeeping is to die for!

Total Time: 20 mins

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 15 mins

Serves: 20

INGREDIENTS

30 mls olive oil
15 mls Worcestershire sauce
5 mls Tabasco
1 level tsp ground cumin
1 level tsp sweet paprika
½ level tsp ground cinnamon
2 x 100g packs pecan nuts
Sea salt to sprinkle

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan) mark 3.

Put the oil, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, cumin, paprika and cinnamon in a small roasting pan and heat in the oven for 2min. Add the pecans and toss everything together to coat.

Cook in the oven for 10-15min. Tip on to kitchen paper to drain and sprinkle immediately with a generous amount of salt. Put nuts in a sterilised, airtight jar (see COOK'S TIP, below), then label and store for up to three months.

COOK'S TIP

To sterilise jars and bottles, preheat the oven to 140°C (120°C fan) mark 1. Wash jars with hot, soapy water and rinse well. Put upturned jars on a baking sheet in the oven for 10-15min or until completely dry. For wine bottles, run them through the dishwasher before oven-drying, as above. Fairy-cake cases are the perfect size for individual portions. Fill them with spiced pecan nuts, then wrap them in clear plastic wrap and tie with raffia.
