Smoker | |
| Two cups whole raw almonds One-quarter cup butter One tablespoon seasoned salt (to make your own 1/2 Tbs. Kosher salt 1/2 tsp. course ground pepper 1/8 tsp. paprika 1/8 tsp. garlic powder 1/16 tsp. onion powder 1/16 tsp. ground red pepper ) Two teaspoons white sugar One-half teaspoon onion powder | |
| Melt the butter in a skillet, add the almonds and stir. Remove from heat and cover. Stir a bit every minute or so for 10 minutes. Place the salt, sugar and onion powder in a spice grinder, clean coffee grinder or blender and pulverize until it becomes a fine powder. The finer the dry ingredients, the better they'll stick to the almonds. Dump the almonds in a colander and strain off the melted butter. Spread them out in a baking sheet and coat with the salt mixture.(use a pan that will fit in your smoker. preferably with grate to allow maximum smoke (I use my bradley racks and cover with frogmat/non stick smoke mat) Smoke at about 225 degrees with a light flavored wood like apple or alder until the nuts are lightly toasted (30-60 minutes) Remove and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container. This smoked almond recipe makes about two cups, which can go pretty fast. Better make a double recipe! | |
