Barefoot Contessa Rosemary Cashews

Rosemary Cashews

Ina Garten | Barefoot in Paris | Clarkson Potter, 2004 | Serves 8

Here is a savory cocktail nibble that would satisfy a French host’s needs. These cashews were inspired by the bar nuts served at Union Square Cafe in New York City, which is one of my favorite restaurants in the world.

Note: The cashews are best served warm, but you can prepare the rosemary mixture in advance and just before guests arrive toss them and serve.—Ina Garten

    [Alexander Cowan] So easy and so delicious, this seems to be the theme for Barefoot Contessa. These were so simple to make yet so satisfying and pleasurable. The smell of the roasted cashews when they hit the rosemary and butter mixture was intoxicating. This recipe will definitely be added to my arsenal of recipes.
