　　These pistachios make an unusual but addictive cocktail snack. The recipe was inspired by some versions we tried at Restaurant Sent Sov‭, in Saratoga, California.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 2 cups

　　1/4 cup sugar

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　1 tablespoon curry powder

　　2 teaspoons ground coriander

　　1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

　　1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

　　3/4 teaspoon ground ginger

　　2 cups unsalted shelled pistachios

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　

Step 1

Line a shallow baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper.

　　

Step 2

Stir together sugar, salt, and spices in a small bowl.

　　

Step 3

Cook pistachios in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until a shade darker, about 5 minutes.

　　

Step 4

Stir sugar mixture into nuts and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt and coats nuts evenly, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer nuts to baking pan and cool.
