Garam Masala Nuts

01 March, 2018 0 comments Leave a comment

1 egg white, at room temperature 
3 tablespoons sugar 
1-2 teaspoons salt 
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala 
3 cups toasted nuts (we use pecans, walnuts, & pecans) 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Cover a cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. If you use foil, reduce cooking time and watch that the nuts don’t scorch.

Whisk the egg white and one tablespoon hot water until you have a thick froth (almost like foam on a latte). Stir in the sugar & garam masala. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and sugar is partially dissolved.  Toss the nuts with the mixture and then spread the nuts on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes.  Stir the nuts occasionally. Note: I tend to like my nuts sweet and spicy, so I would add another tablespoon sugar and a half teaspoon of hot curry.

Coconut Burfi

14 January, 2015 0 comments Leave a comment

I absolutely love coconut burfi. Sweet, toothy, and easy. The depth of flavor comes from the interplay between the coconut, pistachios and cardamom.

2 cups dessicated coconut
1 1/2 cups whole milk
10 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/3 cup pistachios, roughly chopped

 Soak the coconut in the milk for 1-12 hours, then add it to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the condensed milk. Cook for 30 minutes at a low bubble, stirring, then add the cardamom. Cook until the mixture is reduced by about 1/3 and pulling away from the edges of the pan. Stir in the nuts and spread mixture in a buttered pan at least 9 inches across, or on a piece of parchment. Let cool enough to cut, and then cut into diamonds. 

If you don't consume the entirety within two days, please refrigerate.

Delicata Squash and Kale Salad with Urfa Biber

11 November, 2014 0 comments Leave a comment

No picture of the finished salad here. The pictures did a disservice to the delectable salad. So here's a picture of the pre-roasted delicata squash. It's one of the easiest squashes to prepare. It cuts easily and the seeds are easy to remove. In fact, that grapefruit spoon there is usually used to remove squash seeds, not to eat grapefruit. This is a quick easy salad to prepare. Eat it as a main course or an accompaniment. Serves 4-6 as a salad or 3 as a main course.

1 large delicata squash
2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
