Toasting Almonds

Toasted Almonds
 

yummy toasted almonds make any dish better

toss on salad, add to chicken salad, seafood stuffing

sprinkle over green beans, broccoli

add to brownies, sprinkle over ice cream

 



 

start with sliced roasted almonds

 

why? because the raw don't have as much flavor

and toasting gives more flavor than the roasting

 

trust me I've tried - just toast the roasted almonds

 

 

In a large sauté pan toss a thin layer of almonds

over medium heat, watching closely

stirring often 

one distraction they'll burn

 

 

overcrowding will result in brown patches with uncooked almonds

my pan is definitely overcrowded

what can I say I give good advice I just don't take it

 

 

hmmmm....they smell so yummy

don't burn your fingers sneaking some out of the pan

 

 

ENJOY!!

 

 

Toasted Almonds

 

2 cups of sliced roasted almonds

 

When the pan is preheated, spread only enough almonds to cover the pan in an even thin layer.

 

Stir  frequently (about once every 30 seconds) to prevent the nuts from burning.

 

The stove top method is quick and easy, the almond slices tend to roast a little unevenly, so it's important to keep the almonds moving.

Remove the almonds from the pan when they are done toasting.

 

The almonds should take between 3 and 5 minutes to toast on the stove top.

Remove the almonds from the heat just before they begin to develop browned edges  otherwise they will start to burn.

Immediately pour the toasted almond slices into another dish to cool.  Store in glass jar after they are cooled.

You can toast in the oven but I always burn them it's that distraction thing

you look away things start smoking!!
