FIVE-SPICE ROASTED CARROTS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS



Five-Spice Roasted Carrots With Toasted Almonds image

A complex combination of fennel seeds, anise, clove, cinnamon and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder is a crucial ingredient in the Chinese pantry that also happens to be deeply versatile. It can be used as a dry rub for roast chicken, tossed with sautéed vegetables or sprinkled over toasted nuts. Here, five-spice powder, along with a bright splash of vinegar and ginger, dresses up simple roasted carrots. Preheating your baking sheet in the oven will help caramelize and crisp your vegetables, and will also speed up cooking time.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt
2 bunches carrots (about 2 pounds), trimmed and scrubbed, halved lengthwise if large
1/4 cup unsalted, raw almonds
1/4 cup sliced chives (about 1 small bunch)
1 to 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Arrange one oven rack at the top and one at the bottom of the oven. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the five-spice powder, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Transfer carrots to the hot baking sheet and arrange in an even layer and roast, on the bottom rack, until the carrots are tender and browned all over, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • While carrots are roasting, toast almonds on a separate baking sheet, on the top rack, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool, then finely chop and transfer to a large bowl or serving platter. Add the chives, vinegar, ginger and remaining olive oil to the almonds, and season with salt. Add roasted carrots and toss to coat. Serve hot.

TOASTED SPICE RUB ALMONDS



Toasted Spice Rub Almonds image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 42m

Yield about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound shelled almonds, preferably unsalted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons sea salt, preferably gray salt
3 tablespoons Toasted Spice Rub, recipe follows
1/4 cup fennel seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/4 cup (1-ounce) pure California chili powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Blanch the almonds in boiling water, until the skins peel off.
  • Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over moderate heat and cook until it turns light brown and smells nutty. Add the almonds and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, over moderate heat until the almonds begin to color, about 5 minutes, coat and toss in the spice mix thoroughly. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the almonds are medium-brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, taste for flavor, add more spice mix or salt, if necessary. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a sheet pan; they will crisp as they cool. Store the cooled almonds in an airtight container at room temperature. (See Cook's Note)
  • Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan, add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground. If you have a small spice mill or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
  • Toasting freshens spices, releases their oils, and makes them more fragrant, as well as adding a new dimension of flavor. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
  • Taste your chili powder and, if too spicy and hot, cut back the amount. California chiles are almost sweet, not hot.

TOASTED SPICE RUB - MICHAEL CHIARELLO



Toasted Spice Rub - Michael Chiarello image

This spice mix from Michael Chiarello and NapaStyle goes well in many different dishes. It and his Fennel Spice are mixes well-worth keeping a steady supply of!

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Spicy

Time 8m

Yield 1/2 cup (approx) spice rub

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup fennel seed
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/4 cup pure california chili powder (1 ounce)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Read this recipe all the way through before beginning, get your spices and equipment (skillet, plate, blender, alternate method grinder, and storing container) ready.
  • In a small, heavy skillet over medium heat, toast the fennel, coriander, and peppercorns.
  • Watch carefully, because when the fennel turns a light brown you're going to work quickly: turn on the hood exhaust fan on your stove, then add the red pepper flakes and stir well for 30 seconds.
  • Turn the mixture onto a plate to cool.
  • When cool, place mixture in a blender together with the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon; blend until all are evenly ground.
  • (Alternately, you can use a spice mill/coffee grinder/mortar and pestle to grind the fennel, coriander, peppercorns, and chili flakes, then toss resultant powder with the remaining ingredients).
  • Transfer the spice rub into a glass jar and store in a cool, dry place; you can also freeze the mixture.
  • Note: if you prefer a mixture that is less spicy-hot, make sure you use mild California chili powder and/or begin with fewer red pepper flakes, then add to your preference; California chiles in powder are generally less hot and more sweet.
  • On chicken: sear a chicken in a little olive oil, let cool, pat the rub generously over the bird, then roast it.
  • Use as dry rub or dry marinade: rub into meat or poultry, refrigerate 4 hours, bring to room temperature, then roast, pan-sear, or grill.
  • Finishing rub: blend with just enough olive oil to make a paste, then use as a marinade or to finish grilled steaks and seafood.
  • Other uses: toss with vegetables before pan-roasting, or add to soups and stews.

Here are the tips and conclusion about the Toaster Spice Rub Almonds:

To achieve the best result:

Be sure to use the right salt: The recipe calls for using coarse salt, as it provides a more even seasoning and helps the spices distribute better. If you don't have any on hand, you can make your own coarse salt by simply grinding some regular salt in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle.

Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the almonds, be sure to spread them out in an even layer so they don't overlap. This will help them toast evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of roasting.

Watch the almonds carefully: Stirring the almonds frequently will prevent them from scorching, but taking your eyes off of them is one of the easiest ways to burn them.

Serve warm or at room temperature: These almonds taste great either way, so serve them up as a side to cocktails, as part of a charcuterie board, or simply as a movie-night-style treat.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Toaster Spice Rub Almonds is a delightful way to enjoy almonds. These nutty snacks are easy to make, and they're sure to be loved by your friends and family. Plus, they are a great gift for any occasion.
