Description
Served with a glass of chilled dry sherry, these delicious salted nuts make a perfect tapas dish or a pre-dinner snack. Note that you MUST used flaky sea salt for these - you CANNOT use regular table salt.

Ingredients

 * 1 egg white
 * 1 cup shelled unblanched almonds
 * Handful of flaked sea salt

Directions

 * 1) Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Whisk the egg white in a bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
 * 2) Add the almonds to the egg white and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated. Tip the mixture on to a baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer.
 * 3) Sprinkle the salt over the almonds and bake for 15 minutes, or until the egg white and salt are crusty. Leave to cool completely, then serve in bowls with a selection of other small tapas dishes, dips and pâtés.
