first thing's first: i feel as though i am channeling carrie bradshaw. i am WRITING on my MAC while drinking a COSMO. now if only i wasn't wearing pj pants and a wife-beater...
moving on.
i made the following appetizer for our new year's eve dinner party and it was so delicious that i had to share. it's from a cookbook that i bought at costco a while back called "Best Ever: Three and Four Ingredient Cookbook". some things in this cookbook are surprisingly complicated, but this is most definitely not.
SPANISH SALTED ALMONDS
serves four to six
1 egg white
1 generous cup shelled, unblanched almonds
a good handful of flaked sea salt
preheat the oven to 400. whisk the egg white in a bowl until it forms still peaks.
add the almonds to the egg white, and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated. tip the mixture onto a baking sheet and spread evenly into a single layer.
sprinkle the salt over the almonds and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the egg white and salt are crusty. leave to cool completely. serve in bowls.
they are perfect as an appetizer or just an afternoon snack.
enjoy, and happy new year.
