Homemade salted almonds have a pleasant, mild taste, and they are easy to prepare! I tasted homemade salted almonds at my friend's house, and as soon as I heard that she had prepared them by her self, I wanted to try making them as well... I'm fond of almonds - I like to eat a few of them in the afternoons, or with a cup of tea before serving dinner. I've bought a few times salted & smoked almonds from the store, but the ones I bought were too salty, and the smoke-flavour was a bit strong.
Now that I know how to prepare the salted almonds at home, the next thing I experiment with, will be seasoning them ... How would they taste, if I added some paprika or turmeric, or even lemon and coriander?
Almonds contain vitamin E, manganese and magnesium. The good fat in almonds contains healthy cholesterol, but also quite a bit of calories. A little handful, about 15 almonds, makes a good snack in the afternoon, keeping your hunger at bay.
Salted almonds 2.5 dl (1 cup) of boiling water3 tablespoons fine salt
200 g (7 oz) of almonds - Dissolve the salt in boiling water.
- Pour the water into a bowl, and add 200 g (7 oz) of almonds.
- Allow the almonds to soak in the water for about 30 minutes
- Spread the almonds on a baking tray lined with baking sheet, and bake for 30 min. at 150 ° C / 300 F. degrees.
- Let the almonds cool down before serving them.
Salted almonds taste good with fruit - I prepared a snack of pears, crackers with olive tapenade and salted almonds - yum! Mixing the salted almonds together with raisins and cranberries would give a nice sweet-salty mixture.
Wishing you a delicious weekend, Nina
