CUMIN-AND-PAPRIKA-SPICED MARCONA ALMONDS



Cumin-and-Paprika-Spiced Marcona Almonds image

Almonds were brought to Spain by the Moors, and they've featured in Andalusian cuisine ever since. Typically they are used as a thickener for sauces and, most famously, as the base of ajo blanco. Whole Marcona almonds are roasted with sweet or hot smoked paprika-I prefer to use sweet paprika, introduce a little heat via cayenne, and round it out with cumin and salt. In the event of a crippling Marcona almond shortage, regular blanched almonds will do the trick.

Provided by Talia Baiocchi

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon cumin, for dusting
1 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon sweet or smoked Spanish paprika, for dusting
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 cups blanched Marcona almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, salt, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and the cayenne. Add the almonds and toss to coat.
  • Spread the almonds out evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through. Transfer to a plate to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of cumin and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of paprika. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooled nuts. Store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Cranberry Avocado Salad with Candied Spiced Almonds & Sweet White Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Johanna

Number Of Ingredients 26

DRESSING:
1/2 cup sugar (60g)
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried mustard
1 tablespoon minced sweet onion
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar (120 ml)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (70 ml)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (70 ml)
SALAD:
12 ounces baby spinach, arugula, field greens (340g)
1 small bunch cilantro, washed and dried, leaves removed whole from stems
2 medium avocados, peeled and halved
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (115g)
1 1/2 cups candied spiced almonds (115g) recipe to follow
CANDIED SPICED ALMONDS:
5 cups almonds, sliced, or a 1 pound package (600g)
1/2 cup sugar (100g)
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoons smoked paprika, or more to taste
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Dressing: Combine all ingredients in a pint sized glass jar and shake well to dissolve sugar. Salad: Place greens and cilantro leaves in a large bowl. Add avocado and dried cranberries and about 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss gently. Scatter candied almonds over salad and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pass extra dressing at the table. Candied almonds: Place a large sheet of foil on a work surface. Spray with cooking spray or rub a teaspoon of oil over foil with a paper towel. Place sugar in a large non-stick sauté pan and heat over medium heat, occasionally tipping and swirling the sugar until it's all melted into a pale golden syrup. Lower heat immediately and add butter, cinnamon, smoked paprika and vanilla. Stir until well combined and all butter is incorporated into the sugar syrup. Add the nuts and stir gently to coat. Don't worry if you have some clumps of caramelized sugar - they will melt as you continue to sauté the almonds. Cover and continue to cook on low, stirring every minute or so until almonds are a delicious golden brown. Watch very carefully as they can go from beautiful to burned very quickly! Turn out onto prepared foil and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Spread out on foil to cool. Note: The cumin and the smoked paprika give just a hint of mysterious, delicious flavor - even though these are savory spices, these almonds are still wonderful served with sweets like ice cream or yogurt.
