Spiced Cocktail Nuts
Recipe courtesy Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh

Ingredients
3 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts and almonds)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the nuts in a mixing bowl and set aside. Put the butter into a small saucepan
and place over medium heat. As the butter melts, add the thyme leaves, cumin,
mustard, cayenne, allspice, and pepper. Allow to simmer for 1 minute. Pour the
butter mixture over the nuts, add the salt and toss well to coat. Put the nuts
onto a baking sheet in 1 layer. Put the pan into the preheated oven until the nuts
are a golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Serve immediately or
keep in a sealed container for 1 week.
