Deep dark rain, a thick roll neck woolie, a big glass of port, some Van on the sound system, and some Spiced Pecans...




Bean Hill Farm Spiced Pecans

1 pound of pecan halves
2 tbs unsalted butter
1/3 of a cup of Worcestershire
3 dashes Green Tobasco
1 Pinch of Cayenne powder
1 Pinch Red Curry
1 Pinch Cinnamon
kosher salt


preheat your oven to 300.. if you have a fan, dont use it for this one.

on the stove top combine everything BUT the salt in a big ol' saute pan on medium heat and cook for about five minutes, stirring, untill all the liquid is absorbed.

spread the nuts on a parchement paper lined sheetpan (or a Silpat or Exopat lined pan works wonders if you got one for christmass... ) bake them for about 15-20 minutes, please dont burn them.. i get testy when people scorch my nuts...

they should feel dry and be thouroughly heated through, sprinkle with a little salt while still hot.

WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETELY COOL before you eat any, they wont be crunchy until they get cool.

they store near indefinately in a cool, airtight container.

They are spicy, crunchy, fatty, smokey, rich....

you cook to.... I may have to move to Iceland..

New years resolution - I'm looking for about 30 new fabulous recipies for low cal vegetables. I figure that way, if they taste great, I'll get more down.
And if I'm eating more low cal veggies, I'm automatically eating fewer calories.
No more..."Ugh, gotta eat my lifeless boiled broccoli cause I'm on a diet!"
So far I've tried about 5 new recipes, and maybe 3 passed the taste test.
Best so far is Cauliflower with Asian spices....had to buy Rice wine vinegar for that.
Soo....I can't join you munching on those pecans....
But agreed, it's a great night for some port!
Actually, I just stocked up on about $800 various imported wines...
I figure with the value of the dollar dropping like a rock,
my preference for German Reisling's about to get expensive.
