Glittering Spiced Walnuts
Ingredients
Instructions
- Finely grind the spices in a grinder.
- Set aside.
- Heat 2-3 inches of oil over a high heat.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.
- Add walnuts and cook for 1 minute only.
- Drain in a large colander.
- DO NOT RINSE.
- Immediately toss the walnuts with the sugar in the colander until the hot water clinging to the walnuts melts the sugar to form a thin glaze.
- In two batches, deep fry the walnuts until golden, about 3minutes.
- Using a wire mesh skimer, transfer the walnuts to an unlined baking sheet and let cool completely.
- When cooled, transfer the walnuts to the paper towels and pat with more towels to drain excess oil.
- Put the walnuts in a bowl.
- While tossing the nuts, sift the spice mixture through a fine-meshed sieve over them.
- Discard the hulls left in the seive.
- Season the walnuts with salt.
- The walnuts can be prepared up to 1 week ahead, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
