Tasty Tamari Almonds


Oh these little salty darlings have really helped me on my way to a healthier lifestyle. At first the one of the hardest thing for me was finding a snack I could eat in between meals that would give me a little boost till dinner. I really like raw nuts and almonds, but sometimes you are just craving for a little bit more. Sometimes I bought really expensive tamari roasted almonds from the local shop. Then one day I bought Tamari soy sauce and decided to try making my own tamari almonds. I always thought it was really difficult, but it turned out to be the simplest thing ever and only took a few minuets. Just add a tablespoon or two to your almonds toast in a dry saute pan and Voila :) And almonds are a great way to get healthy fat in our diet.

Tamari sauce is a japanese soy sauce and a lot healthier than a regular soy sauce. It´s a bit thicker then a normal soy sauce, darker in color and richer in flavor. It is naturally gluten free.



All you need is:

Handfull of almonds (about 100 g)
about 2 Tbsp of Tamari sauce

Toast the almonds in a dry saute pan on a medium heat until golden brown. Take off the heat and carefully add Tamari soy sause to the pan. Place pan back on the heat and cook on low heat until there is no juice left, stirring constantly. (Only takes two or three minuets).

The pan may look like it is burned, but do not worry it comes off easily.

Place almonds on some parchment paper to cool.
