Heta Nötter (Balsamic-Spiced Nuts and Seeds)

This Swedish snack of warm toasted cashews, almonds, and pumpkin and sunflower seeds tossed in a chile-spiked balsamic emulsion is addictive and easy to make. Great eaten out of hand or served on a cheese board alongside sharp Swedish Västerbotten cheese as part of a Midsummer feast, it first appeared in our June/July 2014 issue with Per Styregård's story "A Midsummer's Dream."
