This recipe makes an excellent and different treat at holiday time regardless of which holiday you are celebrating: flavor is totally non sectarian. Created by our photographic collaborator, globe trotting gourmand and accomplished home cook, Chats Chatterjee, it’s easy and delicious.
The Ingredients
- One tablespoon of coarsely ground Madras Curry No. 4 whole spice blend
- One cup of pecans
- Two tablespoons of butter — President is ideal, but any good quality sweet butter will do
- A pinch of Fleur de Sel
The Cooking
In a frying pan, heat butter gently. While it is melting, grind one tablespoon of Spice Mogul Madras Curry No. 4. When the butter starts foaming gently, pour in the ground spice mixture and a pinch of Fleur de Sel. Toss in the pecans and stir to coat. Remove from heat and let the pecans cool.
The Beverage Pairing
Lots of latitude here but definitely something that can keep up with the flavors, textures and heat of the pecans. That means vodka or gin with austere and minimal mixers if you must(e.g. tonic), or a fruity dry wine.
