Rosemary & Garlic Roasted Almonds


All the fall TV shows are back to entertain us.  My favourite new show this season is Elementary; a modern day Sherlock Holmes with Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Watson.  I love the concept of the show but I find the BBC version Sherlock to be incredibly better.  If you have not seen this show run and find a copy to watch ASAP (available on Netflix and iTunes!).  Of course a good TV show needs a good snack to munch on to make the viewing experience complete.  

I made an effort to cut all potato chips, candy, chocolate and popcorn because of their high content of carbs and sugar, which means I needed to find a new snack.  

I tossed a few almonds in a pan, added some butter (frankly everything is better with butter!), a pinch of sea salt, some rosemary and garlic and voila! My new favourite snack!
Roasting almonds brings out the richness and buttery flavour of the nut.  You can snack on these nuts when they are still warm or wait until they have cooled down.


Rosemary & Garlic Roasted Almonds

2 cups of unsalted almonds
½ tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. Rosemary (fresh or dried)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt


Directions
Melt the butter over medium high heat.
Add the almonds and the rosemary and cook, stirring frequently for a few minutes.
Once the nuts are warm and the rosemary is odorant add the minced garlic and cook for a few more minutes.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the salt.
Store in an air-tight container for up to a month.



Happy Snacking!

  4. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page
    layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only
    having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  7. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd certainly
    appreciate it.
