1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Macadamia Nut Spring Roll with Candied Ginger image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups Florida Crystals Organic Sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup heavy cream, warm
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons candied ginger root, finely chopped
2 cups roughly chopped macadamia nuts
4 sheets spring roll wrappers
Water to seal
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean split
4 egg yolks
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 cups cider vinegar
4 cups Florida Crystals Organic Sugar
2 tablespoons pickled ginger, sliced thin
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 star anise
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch saffron
8 carambola (star fruit) sliced thin

Steps:

  • To make the macadamia nut filling, use a small saucepan over medium heat and combine the sugar and water, then bring to a boil and cook until it caramelizes to a nice amber color. Remove from heat and add the cream slowly. Return to heat and stir until sugar and cream are completely incorporated and smooth. Add butter, candied ginger, and chopped nuts, then allow to cool slightly. If mixture gets too firm, simply warm to make pliable.
  • To assemble, place the 4 spring roll wrappers down on the table so 1 point is facing 6 o'clock. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 wrappers. Fold the point facing 6 o'clock over the filling and continue to roll. Fold over the left side, and then the right side to seal the ends and continue to roll until a small triangle remains. Brush edge with water and press to seal the end. Fry in 360 degree F oil just to brown the skin. Cut in half and put aside.
  • To make the brown sugar ice cream, begin by bringing the milk, heavy cream, split vanilla bean, and sugar to a boil. Combine yolks and karo syrup and stir. Pour half of the boiling liquid into the yolks and stir until combined. Add remaining liquid and put back on the heat and continue to stir until you reach a temperature of 180 degrees F. Strain and cool in an ice bath. Place in an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • To make the pickled carambola, using a medium pot over medium high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, ginger, peppercorns, anise, vanilla, and saffron. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Add carambola, and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove carambola with skimmer and cool. Cool liquid over an ice bath. Add cold carambola to cold syrup, cover, and keep refrigerated.
  • To plate, place both spring rolls on a plate with a bowl of the pickled carambola and a bowl of brown sugar ice cream. Serve immediately.

Macadamia and Ginger Stuffing image

Categories     Ginger     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Sausage     Macadamia Nut     Fall     Bon Appétit     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes Hawaiian bread (sweet egg bread), crust trimmed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped drained canned water chestnuts
1 cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted macadamia nuts
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
3/4 cup (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
3 large eggs, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bread cubes on baking sheet. Bake until dry and firm, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Transfer to very large bowl.
  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, shallots and ginger. Sauté until sausage is cooked through, breaking up meat with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl containing bread cubes. Mix in green onions and next 4 ingredients. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Mix enough chicken broth into stuffing to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality macadamia nuts. This will ensure that your cookies have a rich, buttery flavor.
  • Toast the macadamia nuts before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cookies a nice zing.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Macadamia ginger fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give macadamia ginger fingers a try!
