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.

SWEET & SPICY PISTACHIO BRITTLE



Sweet & Spicy Pistachio Brittle image

I noticed a poll being taken on Facebook, peanut brittle vs almond bark. I was glancing through the comments when I noticed a comment about a sweet and spicy pistachio brittle. I immediately messaged this gal, asking if I could have the recipe. A few days later, she sent it to me. I was sooooo happy!!! I made it almost right...

Categories     Dessert     Pistachio     Low Cholesterol     Edible Gift     Candy Thermometer     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup unsalted, shelled raw natural pistachios, very coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Coarse gray sea salt (such as fleur de sel or sel gris)
Special Equipment
A candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; spray with nonstick spray and set aside. Whisk sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Fit saucepan with candy thermometer, bring mixture to a boil, and cook until thermometer registers 290°F, 3-4 minutes.
  • Using a heatproof spatula, stir in pistachios, butter, and kosher salt (syrup will seize initially, but will melt as it heats back up). Continue to cook syrup, stirring often, until thermometer registers 300°F and pistachios are golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Caramel should be pale brown (it will darken slightly as it cools). Sprinkle baking soda over and stir quickly to blend caramel thoroughly (mixture will bubble vigorously).
  • Immediately pour caramel onto prepared baking sheet and, using a heatproof spatula, quickly spread out as thin as possible. Sprinkle sea salt over and let caramel cool completely. Break brittle into pieces. DO AHEAD: Brittle can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight between sheets of parchment paper (to prevent sticking) at room temperature.

SWEET-AND-SMOKY BRITTLE



Sweet-and-Smoky Brittle image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 40m

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for baking sheet
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo; reserve chiles for another use)
1 cup unsalted roasted pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Lightly brush with oil or coat with cooking spray. Cook sugar, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring, until sugar just dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Cook about 1 minute more, swirling the pan, until syrup is light amber. Carefully stir in adobo sauce (hot syrup will spatter), and cook 30 seconds.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add pepitas, peanuts, and cayenne, stirring to coat. Immediately pour onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining salt. Let cool completely, and break into pieces.

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.

Categories     Candy Brittle

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon coarse salt
⅔ cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
2 cups chopped roasted pistachios
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, butter, water, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until butter has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add syrup and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Allow mixture to come to a boil, stirring constantly. Once mixture reaches 310 degrees F (155 degrees C), remove saucepan from heat. Stir in pistachios, baking soda, and cayenne (mixture will foam).
  • Stir until mixture is no longer bubbling and caramel is smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread out with a lightly greased spatula. Let cool until firm, about 15 minutes. Break into pieces.

  • Grated Carrot Salad with Citrus and Pistachios. The sour-bitterness of the grapefruit and blood orange make the carrots taste extra sweet in comparison in this salad recipe.
  • Pistachio-Yogurt Sauce. We didn’t know how much this sauce was missing from our lives until we had it; serve with grilled or roasted meat, or as a side to crisp-skinned fish, such as broiled salmon.
  • Spring Minestrone Verde with Pistachio Pesto. Step 1: Prep this simple soffritto and nutty pesto. Step 2: Make beautiful, clean soups on a whim. View Recipe.
  • Leek and Potato Galette with Pistachio Crust. Adding ground pistachios creates a substantial dough that complements the leeks for these galettes. View Recipe.
  • Broccoli-Quinoa Salad with Buttermilk Dressing. If you're ever cornered by a bland bowl of vegetables or whole grains, throw a handful of herbs on it. They instantly make the meal more beautiful and flavorful—without adding any salt, fat, or sugar.
  • Salted Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake. The only chocolate sheet cake you need is a Texas chocolate sheet cake. This recipe is from one of our readers. View Recipe.
  • Marinated Beets with Pistachios and Tarragon. These get better with time, so don’t hesitate to make them ahead. View Recipe.
  • Shaved Kohlrabi with Mint, Tahini, and Pistachios. Kohlrabi "bulbs" fall somewhere between the size of golf balls and softballs. The smaller they are, the sweeter they are, which is desirable for this recipe since you're serving them raw.
  • Prune-Pistachio Oat Bars. Rinse your hands under cool water or give them a quick shot of non-stick spray. This will keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.
  • Pico de Gallo Verde. The lime juice and oil will keep the avocado from turning brown, but it’s a good idea to make this pico de gallo recipe right before you serve it.
