Honey-Pistachio Granola | Guest Post

October 5, 2012 By JJ 10 Comments

Honey Pistachio Granola

As you read this RJ and I are practicing our extraordinarily poor Spanish on the unsuspecting population of Buenos Aires, and in a few days will be setting off to hike the Inca Trail. Conveniently, Katherine Martinelli is here with a gorgeous granola to keep you well fed!

I’ve admired Katherine’s blog for ages and regularly link-up in her weekly blog hops. We had hoped to meet in person in NYC this year during both our trips home but schedules didn’t quite synch-up. So instead, she’s here to share a recipe with all of you while I’m off galavanting around the world.

This granola would be a perfect treat to pack as a snack for a few days of trecking in Peru – unfortunately for me it lives here and not in my bag! Lucky for you though – you can go and make some up this very moment.

Thanks again Katherine, great to have you here!!

Honey Pistachio Granola

I am so thrilled to be guest posting at 84th & 3rd while JJ is on her much deserved vacation and homecoming to America-Land. What a trip! I know what it’s like to live far from home, and how great it is to return as a visitor – you see everything with fresh eyes and appreciate it in a way that’s much more difficult when it’s all part of your daily grind. While I’m bummed that we didn’t overlap in New York, I’m glad to help JJ virtually hold down the fort.

I know that while JJ enjoys a sweet treat like the rest of us, her recipes always have a much-admired healthy spin. So I decided to share this delicious and healthy granola with you. I’m obsessed with the stuff, and as soon as it learned how easy it is to make I haven’t bought store-bought granola. Commercial granolas tend to be too sweet for me and while they claim to be virtuous are often high in sugar and preservatives. When you make your own granola, you get to make it taste exactly how you like, and you know what’s in it.

Honey Pistachio Granola

Granola is basically just rolled oats that are tossed with some kind of fat (I used coconut oil) and whatever flavorings you want and baked. The aroma of this granola, redolent with lightly spiced honey, baking in the oven is sheer joy. It may seem like ½ teaspoon of cardamom is not enough, but it’s a strong spice and you can taste it in every bite of the granola. I love the crunch and flavor that it adds to my morning yogurt.

This recipe is also infinitely adaptable. Instead of pistachios try walnuts or cashews, swap maple syrup for the honey, or flavor it with cinnamon and ginger.

I hope you’ll stop by my weekly blog hop. This week’s theme, inspired by this granola, is honey! Swing by and link up. I’d love to see you there. Thanks for having me JJ!

Honey-Pistachio Granola
By Katherine from KatherineMartinelli.com

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 1/2 c (275g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 c (50g) roughly chopped shelled pistachios
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom (from 10 green pods)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 c honey
  • 1/3 c (80 ml) coconut oil

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180C / 350F.

Stir together oats, pistachios, cardamom, ginger, and salt in a large bowl.

Add honey and coconut oil and toss so that every oat is coated.

Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like it), or until the oats are golden brown. Toss midway through if the edges start to brown.

Remove the granola from the oven and spread around with a spatula. Allow to cool partially on the sheet, then, when cool enough to handle, transfer to an airtight glass jar to store. Allow to cool fully before sealing. It will keep at room temperature for a few weeks.

TIP:

  • Take the granola out of the oven when it still seems just a tad underdone. It will continue cooking on the sheet and will get harder and crispier.

    Great recipe! I love the smell of homemade granola. This would be so perfect with Greek yogurt.

    Good stuff! I love Katherine’s writing and photos, and this is a great job. Although I love granola, I never think to make it – weird, I know. Love the cardamom in this – what a nice flavor!

    This is definitely going on my TO MAKE list! The pistachios made it tempting enough, but then the cardamom and ginger make it a MUST make. Thanks for introducing me to JJ. I’ve never been here before so I need to go check out her space.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨.

The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing.

Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?

Your favourite almost 6yo is back again, and this time it’s cookies. They’re vegan and gluten-free but that’s beside the point really, they’ll be ready to bake in less time than it takes to preheat the oven, and gone the second they cool. For a peek into our VO ‘process’ 😆 hold out for the end 🔈 - the outtakes we’re too good to not include.

For those wondering what everything is:
- 2 c almond meal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla 
- 1/2 c choc chips or chopped choc
- 180C/355F ~12 min

Basically 4 cups each chopped lemon, white sugar, water - and if there’s any interest in an actual recipe I’ll even do a post on le neglected blawg.

Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as my first post of the year, or maybe some celebratory New Years thing from the archives...

Also me: Look! I put stuff on toast, it was delicious, you should make it!

For those keeping score: a combo vaguely inspired by cilbir turkish eggs, but lazier and dairy free, and on toast 🤷🏼‍♀️. Homemade spelt sourdough, vegan (cashew) yoghurt, jammy (7min) eggs, chilli crisp, toasted sesame seeds, kosher salt, coffee. 

And for the visual but not literal people: 🍞🍦🥚🌶🍂☕️

...now I think this is where I ask you to share this post! And save it for later! And inquire what’s on your plate! Does that sound right?! Great! If you need me I’ll be eating toast (and playing today’s Wordle 😆) and shooting client videos 📹. Have a good one kids, stay safe. x~JJ.
