Microwave chilli nuts

Many of my friends bring little gifts when they come for a meal such as a posy of flowers from their garden or a little jar of pickles. So for me there’s a hint of the spirit of Christmas year round. Of course at Christmas giving is more of an occasion.

Ingredients

1 cup	Cashew nuts
1 cup	Blanched almonds (Main)
1 cup	Brazil nuts (Main)
2 tsp	Chilli powder (Main)
½ tsp	Ground coriander
½ tsp	Cumin
¼ tsp	Salt
1 pinch	Cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Place the nuts in a large microwave-proof dish. Toss with the oil. Microwave for 5-6 minutes, stirring once during cooking.
2. Combine the spices and stir into the nuts. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
