This crunchy and extremely simple mixed nut praline has a tasty bite to it which is full of nutty flavour.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp almonds
• 2 tbsp cashews
• 2 tbsp walnuts
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Preparation

1. Fry walnuts and almonds in a dry frying pan, stirring constantly, for 5–6 minutes. Put nuts on one part of a towel, cover with another part and rub lightly to remove the husk.
2. Fry cashews in a dry frying pan until golden brown.
3. Put all the nuts between two layers of kitchen film and roll with a rolling pin 2-3 times.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skilet. Add sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely melted and becomes light yellow.
5. Add nuts, mix. Remove from heat in 2-3 minutes.
6. Cover the working surface with a sheet of foil or pastry paper, oil it and pour the caramel mixture. Smooth out the surface with a spoon. Let it freeze. Separate the praline from the foil and serve.
