Macadamia nuts are a great choice for a variety of recipes.

Why buy these nuts in the shell, you ask? Freshly dried and cracked macadamia nuts have an even creamier, more buttery flavor than the store-bought jarred ones. With a good nutcracker, a great novel and a wood fire, they could just make for the perfect winter evening.

And when it comes to cooking with them, a little extra effort can translate into a LOT of extra taste. Here are a couple great new recipes to try:

Ingredients

4 tilapia or other whitefish fillets, about 6 oz each
10 ounces macadamia nuts
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (in juice)
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar

Directions

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
Combine macadamia nuts, soy sauce, garlic, hot sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and pepper in a food processor and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste.
Spread a thick layer of the mixture on top of each fish fillet. Place the fish (macadamia mixture-side up) on the prepared baking sheet.
Under the broiler, cook fish until the macadamia crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily, about 10–15 minutes. Watch carefully, as broiler temperatures can vary.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″x5″ loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and pineapple. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together baking powder and flour. Stir the flour mixture into the pineapple mixture. Gently fold in macadamia nuts.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
