Cashews With Crispy Sage & Garlic

I got sage the other day in my box of produce.

I have always wanted to fry the sage in oil, as I have seen P.Allen Smith do on his show.

I remembered that when I got home from school, 2 years ago, my old boss had sent my husband some cashews that had crispy sage & garlic. He would not touch them, but I liked them. So I decided to try to make some.

I had the general idea and so I bought some cashews.

Here is the basic Recipe.

Cashews With Crispy Sage & Garlic

In a medium skillet, fry minced garlic cloves in olive oil until lightly golden brown (maybe 20 seconds or so).
Add sage leaves to the skillet and cook them until they crisp up and stop making noise (again, about 20 seconds or so).
Drain on paper towels.
Add raw cashews to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden and then drain them on paper towels, if you want.
If you don't, leave them in the fry pan and toss with the garlic, sage and salt (if desired).
Let cool, then serve.
