Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons gently chopped fresh rosemary
9 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped
1/4 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
2 cups pecan halves
1 cup almonds
1 cup walnut halves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large pan on medium heat, add the rosemary and thyme. Toast until fragrant but not browned. Remove to a small bowl and add the paprika.
  • In the same pan, add the pecans, almonds and walnuts separately in batches and toast, constantly tossing, until fragrant and a taste test proves each batch to be tender. This should take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes and will vary for each type of nut.
  • Pour the nuts into a large bowl and season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle with the rosemary mixture, drizzle with the olive oil and toss.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
6 to 8 russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
10 to 20 sprigs fresh thyme
4 to 6 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cut the potatoes in quarters lengthwise. Using a paring knife and plenty of patience, cut each quarter into 1 or 2 torpedo- or oval-shaped pieces. Place in a large bowl of cold water while you finish the rest.
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and blanch for just under 4 minutes. (This really depends on the size of your potatoes, but be sure to not cook them for potato salad; this is just to get them slightly tender--you shouldn't be able to get a fork through them. The oven will do the rest.) Remove the potatoes from the water to a paper towel-lined plate until slightly cooled.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle over enough olive oil to coat all sides. On a large baking sheet with sides, add the thyme and rosemary (whole) to make a bed of sorts. Pour out the potatoes onto the sheet and space them evenly so the air can circulate as they roast. Season the entire sheet with a pinch of salt.
  • Roast the potatoes until golden brown on the edges and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dried crumbled rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
3 cups mixed nuts (pecans, cashews, and hazelnuts)

  • Toast the nuts before adding the herbs and oil: Toasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy. Be sure to watch the nuts closely while they are toasting so that they don't burn.
  • Use a large skillet: This recipe makes a lot of nuts, so be sure to use a large skillet. This will give the nuts plenty of room to spread out and toast evenly.
  • Store the nuts in an airtight container: Toasted nuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. They can also be frozen for up to six months.
