This addictive snack is a complex addition to any charcuterie board or can make a sweet little gift. The nuts are sweet, savoury, spicy, and full of umami.
Ingredients
1½ cups fresh pecans
4 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp ABO Shichimi – Yuzu flavour
few pinches flaky salt
Directions
Heat pan on stove over medium-low heat.
Toast pecans slightly in hot pan.
Pour maple syrup and soy sauce over pecans and toss to coat.
When the sauce is bubbling and most of the liquid has evaporated, turn the heat off, sprinkle nuts with ABO Shichimi and toss to coat.
Pour the candied nuts onto a parchment lined pan to cool. You can sprinkle with more ABO Shichimi and some flaky salt to taste at this point.
Once they have cooled and dried, break apart any nuts that have stuck together and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: Once you have this recipe mastered, try other flavours from Abokichi like the ABO Shichimi – Sanshō Pepper if you like a little zing with the salty snack.
