Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 ½ pounds pecan halves
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  • Mix the pecan halves into the egg white.
  • Stir the white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl; add to the pecan and egg white mixture and stir.
  • Coat the bottom of a jelly roll pan with the softened butter.
  • Spread the pecan mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, turning occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.

Roasted Pecan Couscous with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Mushrooms image

Roasted pecans, sauteed onion, mushrooms, and garlic marry beautifully with Parmesan, sun-dried tomato pesto, and couscous. If you wish, stir in cooked chicken and more veggies to make it a complete meal. I regularly add shelled edamame for a boost of meatless protein.

COUSCOUS WITH OLIVES AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO



Couscous with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomato image

A delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats, but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing! I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight!
