Marmite Glazed Nuts
Let’s talk Marmite. What is Marmite? It’s a savory spread made from yeast extract from the UK— it’s got the consistency of thick caramel and the taste is yeasty, soy-like, salty, almost meaty— it packs a punch with its concentrated flavor. These nuts are cinch to make and so delicious— the Marmite is going to impart a deep rich flavor to the nuts, and the addition of some brown sugar and cayenne will bring the heat and the sweet. These guys are perfect for snacking! Let’s get this flavor chase started with Marmite!
Flavor Chase is a series exclusively on Pinterest, where I hunt down and cook with umami-packed pantry and fridge items that’ll give your recipes a flavor punch and be your ticket to quick and tasty food. Umami is what they call the fifth flavor after SWEET, SOUR, SALTY, BITTER. It makes your taste buds sing and you’ll always go back for that extra taste. So, join me as I show you step by step quick and delicious dishes that’ll send you on your own flavor chase.
