- **Candied Pistachio Instructions:**
- Combine 1 cup shelled pistachios, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the pistachios are coated and the liquid is mostly absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
- Spread the pistachios on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely. Once cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
