1 cup pumpkin seeds, raw |
4 garlic cloves, crushed or through a press |
1/4 teasp. salt or to taste |
2 teasp. crushed dried chilies, chipotle is the favorite...adds a smoky flavor |
1 teasp. sugar |
optional a wedge of lime |
Directions:
1. heat a small heavy frying pan , add the pumpkin seeds and dry-fry for a few minutes stirring constantly or they will burn
2. when all the seeds have swollen ...add garlic ..cook a few more minutes .. stirring constantly
3. add salt and the crushed chilies and stir to mix
4. turn off heat but keep the pan on the stove
5. sprinkle with sugar and shake the pan to ensure that the seeds all get coated.
