Candied Cashews

Ingredients for Candied Cashews

• 300g raw cashews (250g)

• 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

• 1/8 teaspoons cayenne, or to taste

• 30ml icing sugar

• About 725ml vegetable oil for deep-frying

• a deep-fat thermometer

How to make Candied Cashews

Cover cashews with water in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan and simmer until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Drain, then transfer to paper towels to dry, 40 to 50 minutes.

Stir together salt and cayenne.

Toss cashews with sugar in a bowl, then shake in a sieve to remove excess. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in dried saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 191°C on thermometer. Fry cashews in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet as fried and sprinkle with some cayenne mixture. (Return oil to 191°C between batches.)
