SPICED PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Make the Garlic Oil: Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring to make sure the garlic cloves are coated in oil. Lower the heat to keep warm for an additional 35-40 minutes, moving the garlic around the pan every so often to prevent burning.
• Let the oil and garlic cool to room temperature. Store, covered, in the refrigerator up to 30 days. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

• Roast nuts in preheated 350⁰F (175C⁰) oven for 15 minutes then remove and turn nuts to roast the other side. This is a sticky job.
