The secret to homemade brittle? Work fast-it hardens quickly.

Provided by Liza Schoenfein

Yield Makes 8 parfaits

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 cup sugar
1 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios (or a mixture of pistachios and cashews)
1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
4 cups 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/4 cup honey
12 fresh, ripe apricots, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Lightly coat an 8" square baking dish with cooking spray. In a small saucepan, cook sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, until sugar melts and turns lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add nuts, stirring quickly to combine. Immediately pour brittle into baking dish; spread evenly into a 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick layer and sprinkle with salt. Use a sharp knife to score the brittle into 8 wedges. Let cool completely. Remove brittle from pan and break into wedges. Chop wedges into small pieces. Divide yogurt, honey, apricots and brittle among 8 bowls.

PISTACHIO BRITTLE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel
1 cup roughly chopped roasted, salted pistachios
1 orange
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of foil lightly greased with canola oil spray.
  • Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium saucepot fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil without stirring; cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F (the hard-crack stage), 12 to 15 minutes -- the sugar will become deeply caramelized.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and carefully add the butter, baking soda, vanilla paste and fennel; the sugar will bubble up and incorporate all the ingredients on its own. With a heatproof rubber spatula, stir in the pistachios and then immediately spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. While the brittle is still hot, zest the orange evenly over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before breaking into small pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, place the brittle in a zip-close bag, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to 1 month.

PISTACHIO BRITTLE



Pistachio Brittle image

Around the holidays, most individuals will pull out their beloved family recipe for peanut brittle, except me. I don't care for peanuts; however, I do find myself in love with brittle made with cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, the list goes on, including pistachios! A candy thermometer is a must for this recipe due to the golden syrup! It's also best to use superfine granulated sugar as it melts better, and for best results make this when it is not humid.

YOGURTY BUTTER BEANS WITH PISTACHIO DUKKAH



Yogurty Butter Beans With Pistachio Dukkah image

This is the kind of mezze you'd want to serve at the first sign of spring, when the days are a little brighter, the air a little lighter and the cooler temperatures are finally behind us (we made it!). Of course, it's delicious all year round. This dish is all about the layering of crunchy dukkah over tender butter beans with peas and herbs coated in a creamy, garlicky yogurt dressing for the perfect bite. Serve with crisp lettuce, or bread if you like, as a light lunch or as part of a mezze spread.

Categories     vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/3 cup/40 grams unsalted and roasted shelled pistachios
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried mint
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup/110 grams plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Fine sea salt and black pepper
2 (15.5-ounce) cans or 1 (700-gram) jar butter beans, rinsed and drained (3 cups/550 grams)
2/3 cup/90 grams frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup loosely packed/5 grams fresh picked dill
1/4 cup loosely packed/5 grams fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup/80 grams coarsely crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Start the dukkah: In a small pan set over medium heat, toast the coriander and cumin, shaking the pan occasionally, until the seeds are a shade darker and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer spices to a small bowl and repeat with the sesame seeds, toasting for 30 to 60 seconds. Add the sesame seeds to the same bowl to cool.
  • While the seeds cool, start the beans by making turmeric oil: Add 1½ tablespoons oil to the pan used for the seeds. Heat over medium until visibly hot (shimmering and wavy) but not smoking, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the turmeric and set aside to infuse and cool completely.
  • While the turmeric oil cools, finish the dukkah: Add the pistachios, oregano, mint, salt and the cooled seeds to a food processor, using the smaller bowl insert if you have one. Pulse a few times until you have a rough crumble with larger pistachio pieces. Return to the small bowl.
  • Finish the beans: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the butter beans and use a spatula to gently coat in the yogurt dressing, being careful to not break apart the beans.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the peas, dill, mint and remaining 1½ teaspoons oil with ⅛ teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper.
  • Transfer the butter bean mixture to a large plate with a lip and top with the feta, followed by the pea mixture, the turmeric oil and a generous sprinkling of the dukkah. Serve the remaining dukkah to eat alongside.
