Honey Sesame Popcorn Snack Mix Recipe 45

HONEY-SESAME POPCORN

Steps:

• Place popcorn in a large bowl. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, honey, 2 tablespoons water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, swirling occasionally but not stirring, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is deep amber in color, 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter, sesame oil, and baking soda (mixture will bubble up).
• Quickly drizzle caramel over popcorn; toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste). Spread popcorn out on baking sheet and let cool completely, then break into pieces and serve.

BAKED CEREAL HONEY SNACK MIX

• Bake 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread on waxed paper; cool about 30 minutes. Store in tightly covered container up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE SESAME SNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150 C / 300 F.
• Thoroughly combine all ingredients in a bowl with a spoon, pressing down the mixture against the sides.
• Measure out a piece of parchment/baking paper to fit a medium flat baking tray (about 40cm x 30cm) and place it on a cutting board or flat surface. See step-by-step pics above.
• Scoop the mixture into a ball and transfer to the middle of the sheet. Spread into an oval shaped pancake, pressing down with the back of the spoon. Make sure there are no visible holes. Then place another piece of parchment paper over the top and press down with your hands, until the pancake flattens. Make sure not to break it.
• Using a rolling pin, flatten the mixture into a thin layer. Press and roll the pin over the top starting from the middle in different directions, making sure the mixture doesn't spread beyond the parchment paper. We're after 2-3mm thickness - but don't worry if it's a little thicker.
• Carefully slide the paper with the snap layer onto a baking tray. Peel off the top piece of paper very carefully, patching up any little holes that might appear.
• Bake in the oven, middle shelf, for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Keep an eye on it as the mixture does cook quickly and can burn easily. It should be golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely. If it's cold outside, put the tray out in the cold air.
• Once completely cooled, break into rectangular snap pieces. Keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

PRESSURE COOKER BOILED PEANUTS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Wash green peanuts well in cool water. The shells hang on to a lot of dirt because peanuts grow underground. Trust me, you don't want dirt in your cooking water. Place peanuts in a pressure cooker and add enough cool water to completely cover them. Stir in the salt then place the lid on the pressure cooker. Turn the heat on high and cook at 10 pounds of pressure for 45 minutes. If you are using a pressure cooker with a gauge, start timing after the indicator on the gauge reaches 10 pounds. If you are using a pressure cooker with a pressure regulator (jiggler), then start timing when the pressure regulator starts jiggling. You can lower the heat so that the pressure regulator only jiggles a few times per minute. At the end of the 45 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop of its own accord. If the peanuts are not soft enough or salty enough, leave the lid off of the pressure cooker and boil the peanuts until they are to your personal liking. Instructions for using raw, dry peanuts: Put peanuts in cooking pot and cover with cool water. Allow to soak overnight. The next day, drain off water and refill pot with enough fresh water to completely cover the peanuts. Add salt as above. Pressure cook for an hour at 10 pounds pressure. Turn off heat and allow the pressure of it own accord. Follow #5 above.

SESAME AND HONEY HEALTHY SNACK

• In a pan, cook the sesame seeds over low to medium heat. Stir continuously for 5 minutes until lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and stir some more until seeds cool down.
• In a small pot add honey, orange or lemon peels, cinnamon, cloves and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove peels and cloves and mix well seeds with honey.
• Line a lightly greased parchment paper, pour the mixture and place another greased parchment paper on it (like a sesame sandwich). Place the mixture in silicone molds (providing cavities are not too big) or on a pan or on a table using a rolling pin to spread it out.
• Use your imagination and give the desired thickness and shape.
• Let it cool for about half an hour and carefully remove the top sheet. Use a knife to cut in shapes you prefer. Store them in airtight food container preferably with parchment paper between them.
