Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Peel 300 g walnuts.

If the kernels are large, chop roughly with a broad-bladed knife.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Put a frying pan on high heat without fat.

Roast nuts while stirring continuously to prevent burning, for 4 or 5 minutes.

They should brown slightly, but without smoking or burning.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

Turn down the heat.

Add 3 tablespoons caster sugar, it will melt and quickly caramelize.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Continue stirring, still over low heat, until all the nuts are coated with caramel but not burned.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.

When nuts are well caramelized, tip out the nuts onto your working surface to stop the cooking quickly.

Stir nuts with a fork to prevent them sticking together while they cool.

Wait until they are cold before eating, they're better...

Keeping: Several weeks in a closed jar.
