Savoury Salty Almonds

Another week gone and I feel like I've been a little MIA. I had a quick mid week trip to Gibraltar for a dancing job. It was another reminder to be as organised as possible with food. I am in the habit of bringing food for the plane journey but what I now need are ideas for good snacks to pack for when I get there. Things that will last without a fridge and are allowed to be brought into a different country. This often restricts things such as fruit and nuts which is a shame because nuts are one of my favourite and most easily transported snacks.

I came across some amazing almonds earlier in the year when I was in Tallinn, Estonia. In the streets they sold amazing roasted almonds in sweet and also savoury flavours. The smells were incredible. My friend Amy and I tried the savoury variety by a company called "Gourmet Monk". Delicious to say the least! I've wanted to recreate them for so long and I finally have. So here is my recreation of Gourmet Monk Salty Nuts, an awesome on the go snack.
