2009_0621Cooking00012009_0621Cooking0019One of the great things about Halloween is having all those crunchy and delicious pumpkin seeds leftover from your carving efforts. This year we did a bit of experimentation with our Madras Curry No. 4 blend and came up with a spicy salty snack that would be great at any time of the year.

The Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin seeds, cleaned and dried
  • 2 Tbs of finely ground Madras Curry No. 4 (approximately 1/2 packet)
  • 2 Tbs melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt

The Cooking

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and when foaming, add the ground Madras Curry No. 4 and the salt and heat for 2 minutes without burning. Place the pumpkin seeds in a bowl, and toss with the melted butter mixture, to coat evenly.

Spread on a large cookie sheet, single layer and roast in the over for 45 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes to ensure even roasting. Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature and serve with your favorite gin-based cocktail.
