This month has been a blurrrrrrrr. Dear Dorie did not disappoint with the December line up of recipes from Around My French Table. I just have not been able to keep up! Here is a quick catch up of the last few weeks filled with way too many hours at work!
Our neighborhood bootcamp/workout group dressed up for a fun night out filled with good eats and holiday cheer. The spicy cocktail nuts were a perfect addition to the gathering providing a deliciously, unique twist on the traditional cocktail fare!
I followed the recipe as written, using sugar, salt, chili powder, ground cinnamon, and cayenne & egg whites as the glue to adhere the seasonings to a blend of nuts from my favorite shop: Krema Nut Company.
Cheers!
Translation: écrous cocktail sucré et épicé
Such a versatile recipe and treat. Nuts are a perfect way to include a little fiber, protein, magnesium, niacin, zinc, selenium, folic acid, potassium, iron, calcium, and other important vitamins and minerals. A little goes a long way though.... A significant source of fat, one ounce of nuts (about 1/3 cup) will provide between 160-200 calories.
Here are some other favorite cocktail nut recipes:
