Notes
Buttery Almonds
Saute sliced almonds in a skillet with a little olive oil and enough butter to coat. Season with kosher salt and sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cook over medium heat until they begin to turn golden, stirring constantly. This takes 3-5 minutes, don't walk away or they can burn. Transfer almonds to wax paper or a plate to cool. Store in a jar.
