    Ethiopian Spiced Almonds are a quick and easy snack made with berbere seasoning. Feel free to mix up the flavor with your favorite spices!

    I've been hard at work on a new website, and today, it finally went live! It's called The Domestic Mixologist, and it's a project that my friend Mara and I have been developing since the end of last year.

    Of course, we had to throw a little party to kick it off. We had a "Testing and Tasting Party", where people could test drive our new website while tasting some of our signature concoctions.

    To round out the menu, I wanted to make another batch of spiced almonds. I used a similar technique to the Spanish Spiced Almonds that I made for New Year's Eve, but decided to use some berbere spice. They turned out great!

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    3. Remove from the heat and add the almonds. Stir well, to coat the almonds with the spiced oil.
    4. Pour the almonds onto a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet, and roast for 12 minutes.
    5. Remove the almonds and transfer them to a cooling rack to dry. Let dry for at least 2 hours before serving.
