Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (I like hickory here)
3 to 4 stalks fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/2 cup almonds
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup walnut halves
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Flavor the oil. In a large pan on medium-low heat, add the olive oil, liquid smoke, rosemary and garlic. Cook until the oil is fragrant and the rosemary is crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove and discard the garlic.
  • Toast the nuts. First, add the almonds to the pan and stir to coat in the oil, then toss to heat them until a taste of one reveals a tender creamy almond, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the pecans and them cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Finally, add the walnuts and let cook for 5 additional minutes. Each nut takes a different amount of time to toast, so this order is crucial.
  • Finish. Add the cranberries to the nut mixture and season with salt and pepper. Crinkle in the rosemary, then use a slotted spoon to remove the mixture to a bowl. Serve warm or chilled.
