You'll Want To Put These Spiced Cashews On Everything
We like to lean toward simplicity and clean flavors. So every time we start a jerk dish with a blank canvas, it's always a riot how long the list of ingredients grows.
The point is that jerk is a very complex blend of spices that must work in a perfect harmony of herbal, sweet, spicy, and sour. It takes many parts to complete the whole, and nothing can be out of sync.
These cashews have made many appearances on our V Street menus over the years but most recently played a great supporting role alongside our Jerk Trumpet Mushrooms. They are terrific on top of a salad or just for snacking.
