Directions

Rosemary Peanuts

1. Finely chop rosemary and add with sugar to saucepan. Add enough water to make wet sand texture. Simmer on low heat until mixture is just starting to turn beige. Turn off heat. Add peanuts to saucepan and stir rapidly until syrup coats peanuts evenly. Cool peanuts before serving to allow the syrup to harden.

Beets with Lemon and Thyme

1. Boil beets, skin on, until fork penetrates easily. Cool beets under cold water, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Slip peel off beets using gloves or kitchen towel. Using a mandoline with a julienne attachment, or slicing by hand, cut beets to desired shape/size. Add lemon zest, thyme, and salt to taste.
