You can do this in a pan, no problemo, but the salt will turn a bit black. I think it will be best to roast the almonds together with the cillies under the grill for 5 minutes. It is important that you dry-fry the almonds (that is without any oil), so that you don’t end up with oily fingers.

For 3-4 persons you need:

1 cup natural almonds

1-2 small dried chillies, crushed with a mestle and portar

2 big pinches of salt

Preheat the grill on full blast. Place a rack not to close to the grill, but on the next space. Place your almonds on a baking plate covered with foil and sprinkle over chillies. Grill for 2 1/2 minutes and then check, shake the almonds a bit to loosen up and put it back in the oven for a further 2 1/2 minutes.

Take it out of the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, add your salt, through it around in the bowl and serve.
