Fried Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat.
• Stir pecans in butter for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle Cajun seasoning and sugar over nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted and nuts are glazed, about 2 minutes.
• Pour pecans onto a plate and cool slightly.
• Taste and season with salt, if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil.
• Pour melted butter onto the lined basket. Mix egg white, sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add pecans and toss until fully coated. Spread out in the lined basket.
• Air fry for 5 minutes. Shake basket and air fry for 5 minutes more. Shake basket again and air fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Place rice flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix eggs and milk in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Open up and cut the trout, diagonally, into 2 fillets. Season both the flesh and skin sides of the fillet with salt and pepper, to taste, and then dip each fillet into rice flour, then egg mixture, then cornmeal. Repeat with remaining trout.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet until almost smoking. Saute 4 fillets at a time until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining oil. Transfer to a large baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 2 trout. Place in the oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes until just cooked through.
• Zest and juice both lemons, separately reserving the zest and the juice. Set aside.
• While the trout is baking, melt the butter in a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Watching carefully and lowering the heat if necessary, allow the butter to foam and turn golden brown. Immediately add the lemon juice, zest and salt and pepper, to taste.
• While the butter is still foaming, add the pecans and parsley. Do not allow the butter to burn or it will be unusable.
• Place 2 fillets on each of 4 dinner plates and pour the Pecan-Brown Butter over the top. Serve alongside the Sauteed Swiss Chard with Red Onion and Serrano Chile Vinegar.
• Tear Swiss chard leaves from thick white stalks, discard the stalks and coarsely chop leaves, set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and fat as rendered. Remove bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and cook in the rendered fat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the Swiss chard, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat the leaves in the fat. Cook until the leaves have completely wilted. Add the bacon back to the pan. Add the vinegar and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Serve with additional vinegar on the side.
• Bring chiles, vinegar, and a teaspoon of salt to a boil in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Remove from heat, pour into a bowl, cover and let steep for at least 2 hours or overnight at room temperature. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl or glass jar.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Add pecans. Return to a boil and boil 1 minute. Rinse under running hot water. Drain and put in large bowl. Add sugar and toss to coat.
• In a deep skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350F degrees over medium heat. With a slotted spoon, add 1/2 the pecans. Fry 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown, stirring often.
• Remove pecans to a colander to drain. Sprinkle with salt and toss lightly to coat. Spread on wax paper to cool. Repeat until all are cooked.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
• Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain.
• Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving a quarter or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
• Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, push down on the dough, giving it a quarter turn every few smushes, to spread the dough evenly and ensure it doesn't stick to the surface.
• Start to roll out the dough, continuing to turn. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
• Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 10. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
• Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Top with the remaining ½ cup (60 G) of pecans in concentric circles.
• Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
• Cut the pie into 8 equal slices and carefully insert a popsicle stick into the crust side of each slice, using a small paring knife to make an incision if needed. Place the pie slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight, or until solid.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Working in batches, dip the slices of pie into the prepared pancake batter, then carefully transfer to the hot oil and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and serve warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased shallow pan, arrange pecans in even layer. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• In food processor, place toasted pecans, Bisquick mix, salt and pepper. Cover; process until pecans are finely ground. Transfer pecan mixture to large bowl. In another large bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Add okra and toss to coat. Add okra to pecan mixture and toss to coat. Gently press pecan mixture into okra.
• In Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet, heat 2 inches oil to 350°F. Carefully drop okra, in batches, into hot oil. Fry 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden; drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
