Smoked Almonds

[Neil]

1-3lb. bag raw almonds
1/8 cup Dale's Sauce
1/8 cup Soy Sauce
1/8 cup Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 TBSP Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce
1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
1 TBSP Hot Pepper Vinegar*

Mix all the above together in a large bowl till almonds are thoroughly covered and wet. Shake on some granulated garlic or garlic powder, cayene pepper, and salt and mix somer more till almonds are coated. Dump almonds into a "grill wok" and place in smoker. Stir every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes till almonds are dry. For a doneness test I take out a couple of almonds and let them cool approximately ten minutes. If they are still a little moist inside leave them on longer. If they have good crunch, they are done. Usually takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Top of grill wok should be 2"-3" below bandera chimney.

*Hot Pepper Vinegar is a homemade concoction of small hot chile's stuffed into a vinegar bottle than filled with white distilled vinegar.

Great Recipe Bump

[Kevin]

Glad you're bored willkat. I got a free weekend and this might be on the menu.

[Ron_L]

They are great, Kevin! Neil brought some to the Midwest Bash.

[willkat98]

Not a gratuitous bump. Like Ron said, they were all the rave. Bruceseig (another Casper act here) tried to recreate them at Phils, but it was missing something. This way, the recipe can now be tried by all the newer members.

Enjoy

The 1/8 cup of Louisiana Hot Sauce is an add on to this recipie that I like.

[SpammyQ]

What is Dale's Sauce?

What is Dale's Sauce?

A powerful and salty marinade available at most grocery stores.

Good stuff. Might even make spam palatable.

[milehigh]

What would make a good substitute for Dales?

[JohnMcD348]

They actually have a decent low sodium version of Dale's that isn't half bad. We use it alot when whe grill Pork Chops and still want to get the rings off our fingers the next morning.

What Thilliin said:

Now close your eyes and imagine a bowl full of roasted almonds all dark and bumpy from all the smoke and seasonings. Picture? You don't need no stinking picture!:biggrin:

Dales is a very salty soy based marinade. Use it sparingly.

I know for a fact that lots of guys just love Neil's nuts...

[WineMaster]

We got volunteered to bring the relish tray for the turkey day feed this year, and since I have to have some smoked component in just about every meal nowadays, I decided to make these and throw them on the side.

Got up this morning and threw them in the smoker while we were getting the rest of the stuff together. Threw in some extra soy since I didn't have any Dale's, then I pitched in a couple of sprinkles of Tony C's for good measure.

They were the absolute belle of the ball. A lady even came up and asked if I'd make her a batch if she went to Sam's and got me a giant bag.

Thanks for sharing a great recipe! :clap2:

Not really IMHO. I take 'em up a notch when I cook them myself.

[SmokinAussie]

How would they go with some Habanero Death Dust...

Some seriously hot nuts then, me thinks!:icon_blush:
