Recipes Using Nuts in cooking?
I'm looking for recipes that use mixed nuts as the protein. I don't
want sandwich spreads, I'd rather have a main dish or vegetable stew. The reason is that I've come into a bunch of stale nuts from trail mixes, they're not exactly palatable for hand eating but would be fine with other foods. I have a bunch of cookbooks but nothing that would seem to include mixed nuts. They're mainly whole or broken peanuts and almonds with some pumpkin and sunflower seeds. -- Therese Shellabarger / The Roving Reporter - Civis Mundi / http://tlshell.cnc.net/ |

> wrote in message news >> I'm looking for recipes that use mixed nuts as the protein. I've come into a bunch of stale nuts snip Nuts do not keep for ever - they go rancid. I don't think it's a good idea to use them in cooking if they have passed their best. There was a good idea on here recently to use nuts when making soup to give it a creamy taste; I also use nuts in stuffing and for crumble topping. I avoid walnuts unless it's for a special recipe as the flavour is very distinctive - but most nuts can be interchangeable. I also eat them as a snack - so they very rarely go rancid on me!

Here's one that uses peanuts: http://www.earth.li/~kake/cookery/re...anut-stew.html > The reason is that I've come into a bunch of stale nuts from trail > mixes, they're not exactly palatable for hand eating but would be fine > with other foods. Deb's got a good point though - if they're rancid you may not want to eat them. Or is it just that their texture's suffered but you're sure the oils haven't turned? Kake |

Recipes Using Nuts in cooking?
While frolicking around in rec.food.veg.cooking, Keith Michaels of The
Boeing Company said: >Peanuts seem to go well with corn. Here's how I do it: > >Toast one cup of whole peanuts in a dry pan until brown spots appear, >set aside.

Toss together and cook a few minutes until flavors are blended. >Put in serving dish and garnish with cilantro or sesame seeds. Thanks. I'll try that with the peanuts I have, one day. When I toast the peanuts, should that be on high, medium or low heat? -- Nikitta a.a. #1759 Apatriot(No, not apricot)#18 ICQ# 251532856 Unreferenced footnotes: http://www.nut.house.cx/cgi-bin/nemwiki.pl?ISFN "You can tell if someone is a doctor.
