Roasted Cashews

Recipe from the Cranks cookbook - called Tamari. Itbsp oil, 1lb cashew nuts, 2 tbsp soy sauce. Pour oil into a baking tin, add nuts and turn them in the oil. Roast in oven 180C for about 15 mins, turning occasionally. (The nuts, not you).Sprinkle the soy sauce over and stir till nuts well coated. Return to the oven for 5 minutes (the nuts, not you). Leave to cool and stir in an airtight container.

I didn't do that amount and think 15 minutes could be too long for roasting - use your eyes!

Store in an airtight container - do not stir
