The Union Square Cafe's Bar Nuts

Union Square Cafe is a restaurant in New York that has a famous bar nut recipe. I took this

from Nigella Lawson's version. The sweet, spicy, salty, herbal combination hit on every note

of your palate which makes them delicious!

2 1/4 cups (18-ounces) assorted unsalted nuts, (any combination of cashews, whole unpeeled almonds, peeled peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts...whatever suits your taste)

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons dark brown sugar

2 teaspoons Maldon or other sea salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.

Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.
