Recipe - Flavored Nuts

8 ounce Walnuts or cashews, pecans,
or peanuts
2 teaspoon Peanut oil, * see note
One fourth teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon Dried herb such as thyme,
savory, tarragon, or sage
Spice of choice

GARLIC ALMONDS
8 ounce Almonds, skin on
2 teaspoon Pure olive oil
1 teaspoon Minced garlic

GARLIC PINE NUTS
4 ounce Pine nuts
2 teaspoon Olive oil
One half teaspoon Minced garlic

SAFFRON PISTACHIOS
8 ounce Roasted pistachios, shelled
2 teaspoon Spanish olive oil
4 Saffron threads
Salt

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put all flavor ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Add nuts and toss. Transfer to a roasting pan into which the nuts will fit
in one single layer. Roast for 20 minutes or until nuts begin to color.
Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.

NOTES : For a drier consistency substitute spray olive or corn oil. A good
thing about making your own flavored nuts is creating the flavors you like,
with as much or as little salt as you choose. Store in airtight container,
preferably tin.
