Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup roasted salted cashews, finely chopped
3/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cashews and coconut with the oil, curry powder and salt in the baking pan. Bake, stirring once or twice, until the coconut is golden brown, about 5 minutes (be careful, it can burn quickly towards the end). Stir in the lime zest and cool completely.
