Go NUTS with This Perfect Party Snack!
Joshua Even, co-owner of Italian eatery Fossetta in NYC, shares a umami-ful recipe
This recipe — super simple, yet going haywire on flavor; it’s also an easily snackable finger food — is perfect for when you need to reach for something that’ll give you a boost of energy. These Moroccan-inspired peanuts come courtesy of Joshua Even, co-owner of Italian eatery Fossetta in NYC. -NPH
These peanuts are salty, umami-ful and can be eaten by the handful. Prep a big batch and they will keep for a couple of weeks. Having said that, the way we make them at the restaurant is probably a bit unnecessarily time-consuming and complicated for someone putting together easy snacks for a game night at home. So I’m going to offer a variation on the recipe that is about as easy as easy gets, and also allows some add-ons and substitutions so you can provide something different whenever you entertain, without needing to learn a whole new recipe. The trick to these spiced nuts is to purchase quality ingredients, and then just give them a good toss together.

FOR THE FANCY VARIATION:
-
For something a bit more decadent, but equally satiating and easy to make, try this variation. Just get everything into a bowl and give it a good mix. Add kosher salt to taste. Almonds and corn nuts offer different textures along with salty and savory notes. Meanwhile, raisins provide a bit of a gummy-like chew and some sweetness.
