EVERYTHING YOU NEED:

well-seasoned, cast iron pan
stainless steel spatula
INGREDIENTS
450g unsalted, roasted or unroasted nuts
5g Wagyu tallow, bacon fat, or other oil (1 tsp)
5g sea salt (1 tsp)
more salt, to taste (if you must)
fresh cracked pepper (optional)
PROCESS
Over medium heat, melt the fat in the cast iron pan.
Add the salt and mix to combine.
Add the nuts and mix to combine.
Saute for about 5 minutes, moving near constantly. (You can roast for less time if your nuts are already roasted)
You will hear sizzling from the oil outside and inside the nuts.
Let cool for about 15 minutes. Internal roasting will occur during this time.
Share and Enjoy!
*NOTE: If you taste the nuts while they're hot, you will burn your mouth. Also, they won't be crunchy.
STORYTIME
I once bought unsalted nuts in Japan by accident and got very upset. Then I got sad. Then I made bacon. Then I had the idea to roast the unsalted nuts in the bacon fat and add salt. Then I got happy.
