Description

Served with a glass of chilled dry sherry, these delicious salted nuts make a perfect tapas dish or a pre-dinner snack. Note that you MUST used flaky sea salt for these - you CANNOT use regular table salt.

Ingredients

• 1 egg white
• 1 cup shelled unblanched almonds
• Handful of flaked sea salt

Procedures

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Whisk the egg white in a bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
2. Add the almonds to the egg white and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated. Tip the mixture on to a baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer.
3. Sprinkle the salt over the almonds and bake for 15 minutes, or until the egg white and salt are crusty. Leave to cool completely, then serve in bowls with a selection of other small tapas dishes, dips and pâtés.
