ELEVEN MADISON PARK GRANOLA

At the end of every meal at the restaurant Eleven Madison Park, in Manhattan, guests are presented with a small gift: a jar of granola for tomorrow's breakfast. It is classic Alpine fare, taken straight from the chef Daniel Humm's childhood in Zurich. The rolled oats are golden with brown sugar and a hint of maple, with salt and a wisp of olive oil for depth. Coconut chips and shelled pistachios provide a hint of whimsy, pumpkin seeds a leathery crunch. Dried sour cherries peek out from here and there, bits of softness to complete the whole. Best of all, the recipe is simple and bulletproof for anyone with a rimmed baking sheet and an oven, at least if you're careful with the kosher salt. Opinions vary greatly over the amount we call for: a whole tablespoon. For some, that is many teaspoons too many. (For many others it is absolutely perfect.) Season to taste.

2 3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 cup unsalted pistachios
1/3 cup unsalted pepitas
1 T kosher salt or 1.5 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup dried sour cherries

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. Fresh cherries are best, but frozen cherries can be used if they are thawed and drained before using.
  • Soak the oats overnight. This will help them to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and make them more tender.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds. This will add flavor and texture to the granola.
  • Add some dried fruit. This will add sweetness and chewiness to the granola.
  • Use a good quality honey or maple syrup. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add flavor.
  • Bake the granola at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Store the granola in an airtight container. This will help to keep it fresh.
