Thank. You. You.
Know. I went nuts today and I will refrain from the obvious jokes
associate with a comment like that and show you exactly what we've got. There are some walnuts on the end here in the middle some pistachios and at the end. We've got some cashews and then directly in front of me. Different types of almonds raw I'm blanched. That's what these brown colored nuts are right here and that blenched is the skin on the outside of the almost next to those some blanch damage you can totally see the difference between those two next to those some blenched slivered Armand's. And the next to those we've got some blanched sliced Aman's. Now chef Abby is roasting some nuts today and really that is the best way to deal with nuts when you go in to eat them even if you're going to eat them raw it's always a good idea or just a roast them up a little bit. It really starts to bring out the flavor and it is an excellent way of eating them whether they're going to be on a desert or even in a savory item. Now a good way to roast knots. I said take your saw take them right here. Going to flame underneath it. Get your pan nice and warm. And then I would roast up some sliced
almonds just pull those in just so they cover the bottom of the pan and you don't eat anything else in here. You don't need the oil or any so many sugar or anything like that unless you really want to play them up but just start to heat them through. Now as they start to heat and then you're going to start to turn them eventually you'll see they'll start to color just a little bit to be quite careful because when they do start to color and turn brown they go quite quickly and you don't want to burn them because then you get some very bad flavors. You can also do this in an oven if you'd like as well. But again you really have to keep an eye on them and make sure that they don't color too much. Now let's just start to move these around just a little bit. Turning now good things about almonds. Very high in vitamin E. Good for you. They're also very high in mono unsaturated fats which have been known to reduce LDL your bad cholesterol. So always good to eat plenty of nuts anyway. Lots and lots have those properties as well. Let's just keep these turning. You'll start to smell them. As they start to roast up as well and they'll start to come up
and it shouldn't take that long. So next time you're in the market for different types of nuts. Think about roasting them really getting that extra flavor out of them. Make them all that they can be. I'm Simon Stephens and I'll see you next time. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. For decades perhaps even centuries. North African red wine was
often employed to enhance the body and the alcohol of French wines from lesser vintages. Mind you this practice however common was both illegal and unethical. The first is often said. Turn around is fair play. Then it would seem wholly appropriate to recommend French wines to enhance the pleasures of the North African table. Chef Obed's feel a pie with chicken and almonds would pose few challenges. Not for the inclusion of powdered sugar and cinnamon ingredients American diners are more likely to encounter at meals and in a dessert rather than earlier and a savory dish. Fruity and well-endowed Carbo's from the fabulously successful 2005 vintage should readily prove itself capable of the task. The best and beautifully balanced Zerubbabel has the palette of flavors to accommodate the blend of savory and sweet elements in the dish. It also has the considerable advantage of showing its best at a cool
temperature. So you may refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes. That will go a long way to increase the perception of fruit in the city and decrease the impact of alcohol and Tannin again. Chef forbid dishes up quite a curveball with this couscous. It isn't the broiled vegetables that catch us looking a bit surprised it's the tahini sauce that nearly blows away the diner. John Mark Bulos 2005 boardgaming block has enough power and finesse to knock this dish out of the ballpark. 2005 is the greatest Burgundy vintage of my professional career. And Rouleau has shown that his shirt NE has the raw material to stand up at the plate ready to swing at just about anything that is delivered in one swig. And you too will be convinced that John Marks more Agung clears the palate just as easily as big pappi clears the bases.
