    Salt and pepper caramelised macadamia nuts

    Serves: 200g
    Cooking Time: 15 mins

    Ingredients

    • 200g macadamia nuts/shelled almonds
    • 30g butter
    • 100g castor sugar
    • 2,5ml (½ tsp) Maldon sea salt
    • pinch cayenne pepper
    • pinch coarsely ground black pepper

    Instructions

    1

    Place the nuts in a frying pan over medium heat and dry-roast for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until very lightly coloured and toasted. You can also do this in the oven but watch them very carefully!

    2

    Add the butter to the pan and, when melted, add the sugar. Stir to coat the nuts in the sugar as it caramelises, 5 – 8 minutes. Add the salt and peppers and stir to combine. The sugar will turn golden brown when it is ready.

    3

    Pour the mixture onto a sheet of grease-proof paper or a silicone mat and allow to cool. Break up the nuts that have clumped together. Serve as is, or pack into cellophane bags, tie with string, attach a gift tag and give with love!
