Рецепт Spiced Pecans
Pecans are the only nut I'll break a diet for. These cocktail nibbles can be very spicy, so I have reduced the amount of cayenne to allow the other flavors, like soy and onion, to come through. They're the proverbial addictive snack-you can't eat just one. Guests really love them. And if you have made them in advance and stored them in an airtight container, you can give them a quick refresher in a microwave oven. Consider putting small bowls of these pecans on the table when you serve a simple green salad. Guests will love to nibble the nuts along with the greens.

- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a jelly-roll pan with foil.
- Squeeze the onion in a garlic press into a bowl. Stir in the onion pulp from the press. Add the melted butter and pecans. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
- Spread the pecans in the pan in a single layer and bake about 20 minutes, gently turning the pecans from time to time.
- Transfer the pecans to several thicknesses of paper towel to drain briefly.
- If desired, toss with salt and more cayenne. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- Note: Pecans have a higher fat content than any other nut. As a result, they can quickly go rancid or stale. It is best to buy fresh, high-quality pecan halves for this recipe and store them in the freezer until you use them.
- Serving in Style [sidebar]: Regular brand-name supermarket soy sauce is the lowest common denominator. The best all-around soy sauce for culinary and table use is either Japanese tamari, which is a rich, often organic sauce, or Chinese light soy. The "light" in this case has nothing to do with salt or calories-it designates the texture. In fact, Chinese light soy, which is inexpensive if you buy it in Chinatown, is actually saltier than Chinese dark soy.
- Makes 4 to 6 servings.
