Smoked Chili Pistachios

[NePaSmoKer]

Ok so i was playing around with this recipe.

2 cups salted shelled pistachios
1.5 Tbs chili powder
1.5 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp brown sugar
1.5 Tbs worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt

My add to this was.
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 Tbs melted butter

Pre heat your smoker to 225* , and your house oven to 275*




Now set these two aside.



Mix all your dry together.





Put pistachios in larger container and add sauce.




After coating the nuts with the sauce i said SELF. This needs a sticky delivery host, so i melted 1 Tbs butter and added to the nuts. Coat good.





Now start to add the dry. Coat with all the dry.








Next i covered my rack with a ham bag. These can be bought at any of the places online. LEM, Allied, Sausage Maker.




After having a PSMS Bout, I said these will stick.........PreSeniorMomentSyndrome.

So i re grouped my thunking.

And use a frogmat on the ham bag.



Now add the seasoned pistachios.



I only used 1 puck (you can use however many) And in for just the 20 mins @225.





While the nuts are in the 6 Rack, I lined a cookie sheet with parchment and set my over to 275*



Nuts from the smoker, now onto the cookie sheet and in overn for 8 mins. Toss the nuts at the 4 min mark.



There, All done now cool.


Store in air tight canister or sip lock....If they last that long.

Next time i will increase the brown sugar and cayenne.

Those look great Rick! But I love them still in the shell. There is something about the process of shelling them. Plus I would eat that whole tray in about a minute otherwise ;D

They do look good. I likes pistachios.

Suuuuuurrrre looks good.

I agree with Muebe though ..... those nuts would never make it to a storage container in my house.

Looks and sounds good Rick.

I shell my pistachios every time I kick them up.
