Tapas in Easton

We had this as a quick snack while Marc and I whipped up some tapas for dinner on our first night in Easton. They make a wonderful starter and sated Sherry, Tori, and Ivan while we prepared the ponderous group of tapas.

Hot and Spicy

Start with raw almonds, just a handful or two every 2-3 guests, and take care when they are done these retain heat for quite a while but are best warm. That being said it is best to let them cool for 15-20 minutes.

Watch the nuts carefully during toasting as they go from golden and fragrant to burnt very quickly. The roasted almonds can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
