FRIED ALMONDS



Fried Almonds image

A delicious and extremely quick-to-make recipe which I was delighted to find in the October-November 2008 issue of 'dish'. As I don't like hot and spicy flavours, I made these with a mild paprika. Those who do like foods hot and spicy might want to add cayenne pepper. Please, do adjust the spices to meet your taste preferences. As almonds boost energy levels particularly at those times such as early afternoon when - given the choice - many of us may choose to have a siesta, I intend to have these on hand in a container at all times at work as a quick energy-boosting snack. I've found that even half a dozen almonds can provide the boost needed at such times, and these will offer a more flavoursome alternative to plain almonds.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

25 g whole blanched almonds (30g = 1oz, so just under an ounce, though precise measurements aren't crucial here)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a sauté pan, over a medium heat, add the almonds, stirring frequently until they are well-coated with the oil and golden. Do not have the oil too hot as the almonds will then brown and their middles will still be raw.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl to make the spice mix.
  • Transfer the almonds to a plate using a slotted spoon and sprinkle with the spice mix.
  • Cool before serving.

A lovely addition to your tapas table, these golden fried almonds are hard to resist. Enjoy them with wine or cocktails! We liked these so much I ordered a huge bag of blanched almonds online, and I've been making them once a week! This recipe originally called for Spanish Marcona almonds, but they are very expensive and...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 c raw, blanched whole almonds
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium heat, in a small saute pan so the almonds are a bit crowded, pour a generous 1/4 cup of EVOO and the almonds.
  • 2. Keep the almonds moving, constantly stirring them in the oil. It might seem like there is too much oil, but it's OK.
  • 3. Keep frying the almonds, constantly stirring and mixing. They will start to sizzle in the oil, and this is what you want. After 5 or 6 minutes they should be a light golden color. (Once they begin to turn golden they go pretty fast. I had to adjust my heat to low so they wouldn't get too dark too fast.) Do not overcook as they can become bitter.
  • 4. With a slotted spoon, transfer the almonds to a paper towel-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Shake the tray to disperse the salt through the almonds.
  • 5. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes and transfer to serving dish.
