Savory Rosemary Walnuts Food

SAVORY ROSEMARY WALNUTS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl except walnuts and mix well. Add walnuts and toss until walnuts are thoroughly coated. Pour mixture onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool completely - better next day. Serves great with Pinot Noir wine.

ROSEMARY WALNUTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add rosemary and chipotle powder. Cook, stirring, 15 seconds. Add walnuts, salt, sugar, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, until glossy and fragrant, about 4 minutes; let them cool to room temperature.

CANDIED ROSEMARY WALNUTS

Steps:

• Lightly oil a baking sheet, or line with baking parchment. Tip the sugar into a heavy-based frying pan set over a medium-low heat, and cook until dissolved and lightly golden. Don't stir - tilt the pan for an even colour.
• Add the walnuts, rosemary, 1 tsp sea salt flakes and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, and stir briefly. Carefully pour the mixture onto the prepared sheet. Use two lightly oiled teaspoons to separate the nuts if you prefer them packaged individually, but don't touch them as they'll be very hot. For a more rustic look, leave to cool, then roughly bash into chunks using a rolling pin. Pack into small containers or bags. Will keep for up to three weeks in a dry, cool place.

PARMESAN, ROSEMARY, AND WALNUT SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter; add the Parmesan, and mix well. Stir in the flour, rosemary, walnuts, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Form the mixture into 1-inch-wide logs, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least half an hour, or up to 3 days.
• When you're ready to bake the shortbread, position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices, place the slices on the baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden at the edges. Remove the shortbread slices and cool them on a wire rack. You can offer these by themselves passed in a basket, or top them with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto.
