TOASTED WALNUTS WITH OREGANO
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 cups fresh raw walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything except the walnuts together, then stir in walnuts, coating them well. Scatter the nuts on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes, stirring once. Remove from the oven when they smell good. Let cool before serving or storing.
The nuts will keep for a few days in a tightly sealed tin if made with butter, longer if made with oil. Makes 2 cups
