Smoked Pistachio Nuts

[seemore]

If you like those spicy peanuts that we have done on the Bradley, wait until you try these!!!!!!!

We got this recipe from the book Sublime Smoke, by the Jamisons.

Here is the recipe:
Blazing Pistachios

1 T butter
3 T pickling liquid from a jar of pickled jalapenos
3 T green Tabasco sauce
1t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t salt
2 C unshelled pistachio nuts

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the pickling liquid, the Tabasco sauce, the Worcestershire sauce and the salt.  Stir to blend, then add the nuts. 
Make sure the nuts are well coated, then pour onto a Bradley rack with a high-temp screen.
Put in smoker at 225 degrees.  We smoked them for two hours with mesquite smoke.




These are AWESOME!  I like them even better than the peanuts!  I
n fact, I think I am going to try this recipe on the peanuts.

I gotta try this one.  Have a bag of Pistachios from Christmas that needs to get smoked.  This will be a great change in flavor to one of my favorite smoked snacks.
Thanks for posting.

OK, you got my attention!

How long did you let them soak?

You think this would work with a shell on peanut?

They look delicious.

Giz, let us know what you think of them.

CRG, we haven't tried the peanuts yet.  If you want to try them, go for it.
I don't know if you would want to leave the shell on, though.  I doubt if the flavor would get into them.
We did not let the nuts soak in the sauce;  we just mixed them in and then put them on to smoke.

P.S.  Since yesterday, when we made these, we have almost emptied the jar!!!!!

Put some smoke on them and then use them to make atomic peanut brittle.

[classicrockgriller]

Sorry, I meant to say "with" the shells on them .

Both raw and roasted.

These have got my taste buds going, I just got 1.5 lbs to do tomorrow.

Thanks

I had to deviate some from Mrs Seemor's recipe.

Used some of the chili liquid  ;D


All coated.



Top rack, salted going to get just smoke.



Lower rack is the coated. Going with 2 hours of apple smoke. Total nuts are just over 4 cups.

Nice set of nuts there guys.
Gives me an idea. Got lots of mixed nuts for christmas presents.

I will try this with them.

He's busy aquiring free stuff!

I'm thinking of cracking the shell on these peanuts and trying this.

I know I will have to probably use more liquids and let thenm soak abit.

Really good.

The non coated ones are good but the coated are really good. I'm going to make some for the Army sons.
