Chocolate-Pomegranate Toasted Walnuts

By Mariya, posted 7 months ago

This is a perfect twist on walnuts. The amazing toasted crunch and sweet/spicy flavors really complement each other. I especially enjoy them on top of mango sherbet (adding a bit of tartness to your taste buds). Enjoy!

Serves 2

• 2 ounces olive oil
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup pomegranate liqueur
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• dash of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup bitter-sweet chocolate medallions

1. Heat olive oil in a pan and add walnuts; toast until light brown (about 2 minutes).
2. Add liqueur, brown sugar, and cayenne and cook until nicely caramelized.
3. Turn the heat off and add chocolate; once melted, incorporate all nuts in sauce.
4. Serve warm over ice cream or fruit, or cool and enjoy on their own!
