Toasted Cecchi Almonds And Pistachio Recipes

TOASTED CECCHI, ALMONDS, AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the garbanzo beans on a foil-lined baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread the beans in a single layer. Place in the oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the garbanzo beans from the oven. Add the remaining ingredients to the garbanzo beans and carefully stir to coat all the beans and nuts. Spread the mixture out to a single layer. Bake for 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly and place in serving bowls.

ROASTED SQUASH WITH CHERRIES AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside.
• Place the squash wedges on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the rosemary and garlic. Cover the tray tightly with a sheet of foil. Bake until the tip of a knife goes into the squash easily, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Drizzle three-quarters of the vinaigrette over the squash and allow it to cool and absorb the dressing for about 10 minutes.
• Add the arugula, pistachios and cherries to the remaining vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat. Place the marinated squash wedges on a platter and top with the dressed greens. Sprinkle with the gorgonzola and serve.

PORK FILLET WITH CHERRIES CARAMELIZED IN ROOT BEER AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• In a pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it caramelizes to a deep brown color. Add the vinegar and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the root beer and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Add the cherries and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, transfer to a clean container and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Cook the pork tenderloins in a saute pan in the olive oil on medium-high heat. Cook until done yet still moist, approximately 20 minutes.
• In a separate pan, heat the pistachio oil and saute the endive and pistachio nuts until the endive is just wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
• To serve, reheat the pork, cut into medallions and place on each plate. Spoon some of the cherries on top, allow some of the juice to form the sauce and arrange the endive and pistachio nuts on top.
