->Saffron Pistachios <-

8 ounces roasted pistachios, shelled

2 teaspoons Spanish olive oil

4 saffron threads

salt

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put all flavor ingredients into a

mixing bowl. Add nuts and toss. Transfer to a roasting pan into which the nuts will fit in one single layer. Roast for 20 minutes

or until nuts begin to color. Transfer to a paper towel to drain

excess oil.

NOTES : For a drier consistency substitute spray olive or corn oil.

A good thing about making your own flavored nuts is creating the

flavors you like, with as much or as little salt as you choose.

Store in airtight container.
