- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chili first.
- Add almonds and seeds. Stir thoroughly.
- Salt and sauté for a few minutes more, but pay close attention as almonds and seeds are very heat sensitive. The oil should be hot enough for the spice flavors to develop, but the almonds and seeds should not be burned.
- Let cool and sprinkle over the salad before serving.
Brussels sprout salad
- Trim and rinse the Brussels sprouts. Coarsely shred in a food processor or with a sharp knife. Place in a salad bowl.
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice/zest and salt and pepper. Pour over the Brussels sprouts.
- Let marinate for 10 minutes. Then add the spicy almond and seed mix prior to serving.
- This salad as a side dish to meat, fish or a simple omelet.
