Spiced Cocktail Nuts

Today's weather was crazily hot and humid! I can almost feel water evaporating from my parched lips as it baked under the sun! Argh, how I craved for an ice cold beer! But since it was mid day, I didn't think a beer would be appropriate that early, even though it's TGIF. Haha.. So I thought, "hey why not make something that goes well with beer?!".

So... I decided to try this Spiced Nuts recipe from Giada De Laurentiis that gets aired so much, I can recite the recipe.

My version was prepared with un-roasted, unsalted nuts and the following deviated spice mix to suit my palate:

Spice Mix

120 g     Sugar

  12 g     Curry Powder

    6 g     Ground Cumin

    7 g     Garlic Salt

    6 g     Salt

    3 g     Chili Powder

    3 g     Paprika

    1 g     Ground Cinnamon

I find my reduced sugar version already sweet enough, but if you are known for having a sweet tooth then I advice sticking to the original amount called for. This resulted in a slightly sweet, slightly sticky pile of nuts that washes down well with beer and will have you reaching out for more!
