mixed nuts

Admittedly, I love to snack. I try and try kicking this habit but hmm… it’s really hard. Thank God, I found these little guys and they are now my new snacks. They are nutritional wonder. Walnut, Raisin and Macadamia. The benefit of walnut and raisin is that they are antioxidant while macadamia helps reduce cholesterol. I also read from an article saying that walnuts may help prevent breast cancer and sharpen memory. Yes ~ I need it. 😀

Try this speedy method to prepare some mixed nuts.

Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a sauté pan, then stir in a cup or two of walnuts and macadamia nuts, mixing constantly over medium-high heat for a minute. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes at 230°C until the nuts turn brown lightly and smell toasted. Remove the nuts and set aside to cool. Mix some raisins and it’s now perfect to go.

You may need to take note on the nuts from time to time and shake the pan in the oven once or twice to avoid it from getting burnt. This is what have happened when i turn my back away to wash the pan. They are so dunzo. Aww…
