Sweet & Salty Smoked Pistachio Clusters2-postI originally planned to get raw pistachios and flavor and cook them in the smoker, but I decided to take it in a different direction. These pistachios are already roasted and salted. But I’ll be adding on a sweet crust and a delicious smoky flavor.

These turned out nice and sweet with the brown sugar and allspice coating held together with a coating of egg white. Delicious little pistachio clusters!

Sweet & Salty Smoked Pistachio Clusters

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pistachios (roasted & salted)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, break an egg, using the egg white only. Drop the pistachios into the egg white to thoroughly coat the pistachios. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the coated pistachios to a clean bowl, leaving most of the egg white behind.
  2. In another small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and allspice. Pour this over the coated pistachios, and mix until thoroughly coated.
  3. Prepare your smoker and bring the smoker temperature up to 250° F. I used pecan wood for this to give it a medium strength smoke flavor.
  4. Once the temperature regulates, place the coated pistachios onto a grill screen, then place the screen on the smoker rack. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove to a clean container.
