I couldn't decide whether to go fancy or rustic with this week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe, Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts.
These tasty treats were fantastic. What I loved about them was that the flavor came at you in stages. While no one flavor overwhelms, the first sensation is warmth, probably from the cinnamon, then a sweetness, then a hint of savory and finally a tiny little kick from the cayenne.
I'm sorry we're not sharing the recipes for FFwD, because this is a recipe worth sharing. But cookbook authors gotta make a living too, ya' know? Check out Dorie Greenspan's book "Around my French Table" to get your hands on the recipe.
These are so good, so quick, so easy...
ReplyDeleteI loved them
I vote rustic! I love your description of the nuts flavour. I made them with herbs de provance instead of the chili powder and cinnemon, so now I feel like I have a clear idea what the original recipe tastes like!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Allison, rustic! Your nuts look great!!
