Caramalised Nuts

Ingredients

  • 500g caster sugar
  • 600g water
  • 200g nuts (walnut, hazelnuts, cashew nuts)

Method

Make a stock syrup and when boiling add nuts and simmer for 2 minutes, then cool down in the syrup, when cold, lift nuts out into 160c oil and fry to create a golden crust not dark, as this will be bitter
Lift out onto silpat lined tray, spread apart and cool for 20 minutes
Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
