OLIVE OIL GRANOLA WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Olive Oil Granola With Dried Apricots and Pistachios image

The secret weapon in this addictive granola is, yes, olive oil, which gives the oats and coconut chips a wonderful crispy bite. Make sure to add the fruit after baking (putting it in the oven will dry it out), and feel free to improvise: swap out the apricots for dried cherries, the pistachios for walnuts, the cardamom for a little nutmeg. But double the batch. You won't want to run out.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h40m

Yield 24 rugelach

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons apricot preserves
1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the flour mixture until combined, about 1 minute. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Cut the dough in half. Working with one half at a time, roll out each piece of dough into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface; square off the edges. Refrigerate the dough rectangles until firm, at least 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Spread 3 tablespoons apricot preserves on each dough rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Toss the pistachios, dried apricots, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the preserves and press in gently.
  • Starting with the jam-covered long side, roll up each dough rectangle into a tight log. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the logs with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut the logs into 1-inch-thick rounds. Arrange seam-side down on the prepared pan, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake the cookies until golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan.

ROSEMARY AND PISTACHIO GRANOLA



Rosemary and Pistachio Granola image

This recipe came to The Times from the chef Steve Redzikowski of OAK fourteenth in Boulder, Colo., and moves granola out of the breakfast realm while still remembering its hippie roots. It is a savory mix, pairing rosemary and red-pepper flakes with a flourish of juniper berries. As with most granolas, simply mix the ingredients and toast them in a low oven until crisp. The result here makes for a substantial afternoon snack, but try it using it as a crust for red meat. It's a surprising addition to dinner.
