Recipe: Homemade Marcona-Style Almonds
Appetizers and SnacksHOMEMADE MARCONA-STYLE ALMONDS
"Marcona almonds are a particular varietal of the nut native to Spain. They are larger and some say sweeter and more flavorful than the almonds grown in the United States. They are typically blanched, fried and salted to bring out their toasty flavor and a seductive crunch. You can easily make a reasonable approximation of the addictive nuts at home."
1 cup blanched whole almonds
1/2 cup olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat almonds in olive oil and pour into rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
Strain the nuts and reserve the oil; you can use it in place of some of the oil in the vinaigrette. Drain the nuts on several layers of paper towels and sprinkle lightly with fine sea salt.
Once cool, store the nuts in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Makes 1 cup
