Recipe - Hot And Spicy Nuts

New Basic's CB
2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
One fourth teaspoon Ground cumin
One half teaspoon Celery salt
One half teaspoon Garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
One half teaspoon Seasoned salt
1 One half cup Mixed unsalted roasted
nuts
1 tablespoon Coarse (kosher) salt
1 One half Cups

1. Preheat oven to 325_F.

2. Melt the butter in a mediumsize saucepan over low heat. Add the
remaining ingredients excepts the nuts and coarse salt. Simmer over low
heat for several minutes to combine flavors.

3. Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet and
bake for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.

4. Toss the nuts with the coarse salt and let cool. Store in an airtight
container.

Adding a little spice just before a meal begins is an excellent way to
stimulate the taste buds and whet the appetite. We love this recipe made
with one favorite nut or a combination of many. We often warm them just a
bit in the oven before serving in a ceramic crock, an antique basket, or an
art deco silver bowl.
