Tamari Spiced Pecans Recipes

TAMARI PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the tamari and molasses. Season, to taste, with salt and cayenne pepper. Toss with the pecans until they are well coated. Transfer the pecans onto a kitchen towel and allow to briefly drain. Roast the pecans on an icing rack until the pecans are fairly dry and toasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Chop the pecans into 1/4-inch pieces.

TAMARIND SPICED NUTS WITH MINT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a medium pot, melt butter, honey, brown sugar, tomato paste and tamarind. Add nuts, coconut, cayenne, garam masala and salt and toss until coated. Spread on baking sheet.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is toasted and sugars have begun to caramelize. Sprinkle nuts lightly with salt and let cool completely. Before serving, break up nuts and sprinkle with mint. (Nuts can be stored in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, but don't add mint until serving.)

SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the nuts in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until they just start to brown and smell toasted. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the spice mixture and stir to combine. Once combined, add both sugars and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheetpan and separate them with a fork or spatula. Allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. Can be stored up to 3 weeks.

SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with the cooking spray or brush it lightly with oil.
• Place the egg white in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 15 seconds, until light and frothy. Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pecans and mix well, until thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture, including any liquid, onto the prepared pan and spread in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing twice with a metal spatula. Each time you toss the pecans, spread them out again in one layer. When they're done, sprinkle with fleur de sel and allow to cool completely; they will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.

TAMARI ROASTED NUTS

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bakd for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle soy sauce on nuts and stir well.
• Bake for 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the oven, stir the nuts again, and leave them in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
• The nuts will be dry and crisp.
• Allow nuts to cool.

TAMARI ALMONDS

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 300°F.
• Divide almonds between baking pans, spreading in 1 layer, and bake 15 minutes. Stir together tamari and sugar in a large heatproof bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add hot almonds and stir until coated well. Let stand, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Return almonds to baking pans with a slotted spoon, spreading them evenly. Discard any liquid remaining in bowl.
• Bake almonds, stirring and switching position of pans halfway through baking, until almonds are dark brown outside and golden inside, about 25 minutes (cut an almond in half to check color).
• Cool almonds completely in pans on racks, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container.
