Mixed Rosemary Nuts

Some article about Nigella Lawson in the fancy magazine Food Illustrated was the inspiration behind these. She is a beautiful woman and when she allows herself to be her natural size, she is especially stunning.

1. In your oven at about 350/400 degrees, toast a mixture of raw cashews, almonds and pecans until nicely browned. These are the nuts I like, but I am sure walnuts, peanuts and whatever else you wanted to throw in would also be great.

2. Meanwhile, melt too much butter and add a balance of brown sugar, chopped fresh rosemary, cayenne pepper and high quality over priced salt to suit your tastes. (Salt is the favorite flavor in my house).

3. Toss the toasted nuts with the butter and serve.

I have found that serving these in a number of smaller bowls, as oppose to one big bowl, looks better and works better at a party.
