Kaffir Lime Cashews
When the kids started selling kaffir lime leaves a the Farmer’s Market, no one knew what to do with them. We printed out our favorite Evil Jungle Prince recipe (included below) and will now try adding the recipe for these nuts. We are hoping sales pick up!
When cooking with kaffir lime leaves, remove the stem, roll the leaves in a tight bundle, and slice finely.
Kaffir Lime Cashews
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 2 T. coconut oil
- 1/2 t. kosher salt
- 1/2 t. sugar
- 1 t. kaffir limes leaves, finely sliced
Heat the oil in a pan and roast the cashews, tossing every once in a while, until they are godeln brown.
Let the cashews cool, then sprinkle the rest of the ingredients on top.
Thanks to rachelcooksthai.com for the inspiration.
And our favorite Evil Jungle Prince recipe – the reason we planted a kaffir lime tree and some lemongrass in the first place!
