Watching a Rick Stein TV program, he made a panna cotta with green pistachio nut brittle dessert. I have lots of lovely nuts from RealFoodSource bought from Amazon recently so I thought I would make something similar. I'm only interested in the nut brittle and I'm going to use Brazil nuts, Cashew nuts and almonds. I've blitzed ¾ of the nuts and left the remaining nuts whole.

Go easy when consuming this as it contains a massive amount of sugar!

Method

  1. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper - check that it will fit in the fridge!
  2. Add the butter, sugar and water to a heavy based pan and heat over a medium flame
  3. Carefully stir until everything has combined
  4. Boil for about 10 minutes until it reaches 'hard-crack' stage
  5. Threads should be formed as you pull a spoon away and the threads should break easily when cooled
  6. If you have a jam thermometer your looking for about 146°-155 ° C (295°-310° F).
  7. Do not let the sugar burn or it will be brittle
  8. Stir in the nuts, mix well and quickly pour the mixture onto the greaseproof paper and spread out with a spatula.
  9. Refrigerate for around 30 minutes, then break up the brittle into bite-sized pieces.
