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. The cashews are best served warm, but you can prepare the rosemary mixture in advance.

convert Ingredients
1 pound   roasted unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons   minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon   cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons   light brown sugar
1 tablespoon   kosher salt
1 tablespoon   unsalted butter, melted
     
Method
 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C).

2. Spread the cashews out on a sheet pan. Toast in the oven until warm, about 5 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt, and butter. Thoroughly toss the warm cashews with the spiced butter and serve warm.

Perfect balance of spicy, salty, and sweet. All my guests loved them.

I've made these since receiving this cookbook in 2004. Friends rave about them being "addictive." My only question: Is there some risk of rancidity due to the butter, if you don't finish them and store these at room temperature?
