Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Shortbread with Rosemary & Cashew Nuts

Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Shortbread with Rosemary & Cashew Nuts

Feb 25, 2019

The title of this recipe is a bit of a mouthful but it is possibly one of the best and most indulgent things I’ve ever made. Just the rosemary and salt alone make a delicious bite but in this recipe I’ve opted for ultimate decadence and have thrown in salted cashew nuts after being sent some to experiment with from Liberation Nuts.

Nutty Jewelled Rice by Vicky Bhogal

Nutty Jewelled Rice by Vicky Bhogal

 This recipe was originally created by Vicky Bhogal’s and features in her latest book, Cooking Like Mummyji, published by Grub Street.   “This is a recipe that would celebrate Liberation Fairtrade nuts in a truly regal way! Use any chopped nuts that you fancy, peanuts and cashews would be lovely, for example. When I was little, I used to marvel as to how this was made. The trick is to always use powder colours, not liquid, which are available from Indian grocery stores and online, and make sure to steam very gently. With the addition of butter, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, pomegranate and mint leaves, you have what looks like a plate of fragrant multicoloured royal jewels and is perfect for a dinner party to impress! My British Asian upbringing instilled in me the importance of being able to work to better yourself and the lives of your family, so I have been hugely passionate about Fairtrade for many years, and expressed my commitment to empowering small scale producers not just through my daily choices as a consumer but also by creating the book A Fair Feast, which was published in 2005 by Simon and Schuster and became part of the Make Poverty History Campaign. This book of delicious recipes bursting with Fairtrade ingredients was my little way of supporting the producers I so admire, and 100% of the proceeds went directly to the cause, half to the Fairtrade Foundation and half to Oxfam‘s Make Trade Fair, raising over £100,000.”   Click here to win a signed copy of Vicky’s latest cookery book, the iconic bestseller Cooking Like Mummyji with Liberation!...

Ruggedly handsome and mysterious, this is a potato soup that leaves the cock-a-leekies and chowders of the world to quietly play cards, while it goes traveling solo through Andalucia on a moped. Food52er EmilyC, who tipped us off to this recipe, said, “It’s the most beguiling, delicious potato soup I’ve ever made or eaten.” Luisa Weiss of The Wednesday Chef called it the sexiest. Ladle it up, pass it around, and let winter’s shackles fall away.
