Help with Union Square Cafe's Bar Nuts!!
I'm thinkin' a bit of water too, maight help. But beware: I've tried heating up the spices & oil w/ the sugar (thinking this would enhance the fresh choppped rosemary that I use) but alas! I succeeded in only in hardening the sugar so that it REALLY didn't stick to the nuts that time!
Help with Union Square Cafe's Bar Nuts!!
I too tried upping the butter / oil which I mix w/ the spices before adding to hot nuts. No matter how much tossing, can't seem to get hardly ANY suar / spice mixture to adhere to some of the nuts. So was wondering if spaying w/ a bit of water might help...? But not sure how that will affect the oil... AAGGHH!!
(BTW, I'm not shooting for ALL the nuts to be sugared -- only to get some of the mixture to stick...)
What's your best holiday nut recipe?
My problem exactly! Have you come up w/ a solution? Hardly any sugar /spice sticks to nuts; it's all in clumps on bottome no matter HOW much I toss! Wondered about spraying them w/ a bit of water before tossing for better adherence...? BTW, I'm not trying to get EVERY nut coated in sugar; just some so that the ingrediants arent so seperate. Ideas?
Help with Union Square Cafe's Bar Nuts!!
Does anyone have some hints / ideas how to get the fabulous savory sugar / spice mixture to stick to the NUTS better??!? I've made them several times with the results being the nuts are on top, & the sugar spices fall to the bottom. Thus when peeps grab some, they're likely to miss all the yummy flavor. (BTW, I tried upping the sugar, thinking more would help 'spread the love' around but it just clumps up & makes hard rosemary-flavored sugar balls to eat with the nuts! Not exactly what I was looking for...
Seeking Phoenix resturant in house (maybe?)...

Seeking Phoenix resturant in house (maybe?)...
So. Cal. transplant-newbie here in AZ, lived & worked in Scottsdale for past 2 yrs. Read a news review maybe a yr. ago featuring a cool new, upscale neighborhood resturant somewhere in PHX - opened in a re-vitalized part of hood. I THINK it was opened in an old house (or other bldg?) but not sure... Remember article talking 'bout homey food - menu w/ eclectic twist & story of the rest. owners supporting revitalization. Anyone know who / where this is?
