Pan Toasted Pecans

Ingredients:
Pecans
Olive Oil
Butter
Sugar
Salt

Heat oil and butter over medium heat and add the nuts.
Stir often avoiding too much heat. If pan starts to smoke, remove it carefully and allowing time for the pecans to cool down while the pan cools down. Turn the heat down and return the nuts to the pan.
When they start getting darker, add a sprinkle of white sugar if desired. Keep stirring and when they are golden brown sprinkle with salt and remove from pan. Let cool before eating. Store in an air tight container.

Tips and Ideas:
Using fats help the nuts brown but using less fats or even no fat is possible, just watch the nuts closely for burning.
A sprinkle of coarsely ground Sea Salt is a nice touch.
