Simple and delicious vegetarian treat

I’m making a few food items for the One Lake Brewing market on Saturday; I’m planning to bring my cookbooks and some serving items there. I won’t have a lot of any of the food items — no time to cook in bulk. So come early if you want first dibs. 🙂 I’ll be there 11-3.

Spiced cashews is a simple and delicious vegetarian treat — the only tricky thing is nuts want to burn, so don’t cook on too high heat, and do keep stirring throughout. (Use vegan butter or coconut oil to make it vegan!)

Cover a baking sheet with foil. Toast about 2 c. cashews on medium until they start to smell nutty. Add 2 T butter. Add 1-2 t. cayenne. Add 2-3 t. jaggery (or brown sugar). Add 1 T lime juice, 1 t. salt, and enough water to make a glaze. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes, until cashews are cooked. Spread out on foil-covered baking sheet, sprinkle with flake sea salt, and let cool.

Variation: add 1 c. chopped dried fruit (and reduce sugar). Mango, etc.
