This is one of those moments where I want to say – stop what you’re doing now and just go and buy this product. Stop reading my rambling and just go and enjoy. No I’m not on retainer or being paid to say that, I just *love* this product from Trader Joe’s.
When my wife first brought these cashews home I confess to thinking, “huh, how weird”, but a few seconds later, I was completely converted. These cashews are an absolute riot of flavor packed with kaffir lime, lemongrass and a moderate amount of chili. The creamy cashews work so perfectly well with this spice mix. The kicker for me is when I decided to use them in my Thai cooking at home. Wow.
Just crush them up with a mortar and pestle and sprinkle over any Thai dish to add a little texture and extra dimension – it’s a stunning accompaniment every time. Seriously, go try it now and stop reading.
The Trader Joe’s Thai Lime And Chili Cashews come in at $7.99, but honestly given the hefty package size, they feel like the cost a lot more. For my money they’re not only incredibly delicious but a great deal too!
