Rosemary Roasted Almonds

Rosemary roasted almonds, December 2011

This recipe reflects my quest for the perfect rosemary almond recipe. Years ago at a tapas bar I had rosemary almonds that were out of this world. These are close. Serve warm as an appetizer, and try them paired with a rich, fruity red wine such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, or, fittingly (because small, shareable dishes make up a Spanish-style tapas meal), a  Spanish Rioja.
