Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp tahini

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp flaked sea salt
400g cashew nuts
200g blanched almonds

60g sour cherries or dried cranberries
100g dried apricots, cut into 1cm pieces
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6; line a large baking tray with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, tahini, pomegranate molasses, zaatar, thyme and salt until combined. Add the nuts and toss to coat.
2. Spoon onto a large baking tray in a single layer (you may need 2 trays). Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
