Nuts recipes

16 recipes

Here are recipes with walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and almonds — Georgian dishes, salads and desserts. A good place to start is homemade shortbread cookies with walnuts, or chicken satsivi in a walnut sauce.

How I cook with nuts

Walnuts taste better after a few minutes in a dry pan: I toast them for the cookies, for Waldorf salad and for pear and blue cheese salad. For Megrelian kharcho walnuts are ground with garlic, and eggplant pkhali gets a spicy walnut dressing.

If you want something sweet

Baked pumpkin with nuts, honey and prunes, pecan pie and Italian cantucci with almonds.
