SWEET & SAVORY SPICED NUTS



Sweet & Savory Spiced Nuts image

I found this recipe on familyfun.com They used pecans in the recipe, but I am sure you could sub any nuts you choose. They use a bit of canola or corn oil in the glaze, you could use a mild flavoured olive oil as well. These would be a great addition to any holiday goodie basket. They do say to avoid putting the nuts in plastic bags because the coating will rub off. The best method to package them would be in a small glass bowl wrapped with cellophane, or in a small decorative tin.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES TOPPED WITH SPICED GROUND BEEF AND PINE NUTS



Roasted Sweet Potatoes Topped with Spiced Ground Beef and Pine Nuts image

When I go to Israel to visit my family one of the first meals we share together always involves lots and lots of dips and spreads to go along with fresh bread. An all-time favorite hummus preparation we've enjoyed together is Lebanese hummus kawarma: hummus topped with spiced chopped, minced or ground meat, usually lamb. In the fall, I absolutely love eating roasted sweet potatoes, and the combination of the spiced meat I adore in hummus kawarma and creamy sweet potatoes makes an incredible lunch or dinner. My version calls for ground beef as the base and is a breeze to put together. Feel free to serve the meat over hummus instead of potatoes if you want to try it in the more traditional way too!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup raisins or currants
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef (preferably 80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Poke holes all over the sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub them with 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are soft and juices bubble out of the holes, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine the raisins and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Set aside to let the raisins plump.
  • To make the spiced beef, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, oregano and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Continue to cook, breaking the beef up with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisin and lemon mixture.
  • To plate, split open the tops of the potatoes with a knife, top with the beef and garnish with the pine nuts, feta and parsley. Enjoy!

SWEET SPICED NUTS SUGAR FREE



Sweet Spiced Nuts Sugar Free image

I found a fabulous sweet spicy nut recipe here on Food.com that used sugar. Since I'm a low-carb gal I altered that recipe slightly, replacing the sugar with Swerve, which is a granular Erythritol. You could also use the Truvia granular. I guess you could use Splenda granular but they would have a funny after-taste. Also feel free to use whatever nuts you love. This is just what I love. These sweetly spiced nuts are soooo yummy!!! They look & taste just like the sugary version.
