I made these nuts when I bought some unsalted/unroasted shelled pistachios and peanuts which I didn't use for cooking. My family loved them for snacking while watching tv. Recipe adapted from The Turtle Bay Cookbook
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2-2 lbs unsalted nuts (i used shelled not-roasted pistachios and peanuts)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more for spicier nuts)
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (or other coarse salt)
Directions:
1. In a large skillet melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add nuts to melted butter and cook stirring frequently for 10 minutes.
3. Add red peppper flakes and salt to nuts and continue cooking, stirring frequently for five minutes longer, being careful that nuts don't burn.
4. Drain nuts on paper towels and let cool before serving or storing in an airtight container.
