Pine Nuts 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Essential for Homemade Pesto

Pine Nuts are one of the traditional ingredients in classic basil pesto.

Blend them with fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan and olive oil to create a creamy, aromatic pesto for pasta, sandwiches, vegetables or grilled meats. SpicenEasy's current page specifically highlights pesto as the signature use for its Pine Nuts.

Lightly Toast for Extra Flavour

Toast Pine Nuts gently in a dry frying pan until lightly golden and fragrant.

Toasting develops their natural nutty aroma and gives them a slightly firmer bite. Because Pine Nuts can colour quickly, keep them moving and remove them from the heat as soon as they are golden. The current product page also recommends light toasting to deepen their flavour.

Perfect for Salads

Sprinkle toasted Pine Nuts over green salads, roasted vegetable salads, couscous or grain bowls.

Their buttery flavour pairs particularly well with:

• Feta or Parmesan
• Roast pumpkin
• Beetroot
• Tomatoes
• Spinach
• Fresh herbs
• Lemon and olive oil dressings

Great with Pasta

Add toasted Pine Nuts to pasta dishes, ravioli, gnocchi and creamy or olive-oil-based sauces.

They work especially well with spinach, basil, garlic, Parmesan and roasted vegetables. SpicenEasy's current page also recommends Pine Nuts for pasta dishes.

Perfect for Baking & Desserts

Use Pine Nuts in biscuits, biscotti, cakes and fruit-based baking.

They are also traditionally used in Italian pignoli-style cookies, giving baked goods a delicate nutty flavour and attractive finish.

Excellent in Rice & Pilafs

Stir toasted Pine Nuts through rice, couscous or pilaf-style dishes just before serving.

They add a rich contrast to dried fruit, herbs, spices and savoury grains.

Add to Stuffings

Mix Pine Nuts into stuffings for chicken, lamb, vegetables or capsicums.

They combine particularly well with breadcrumbs, herbs, onion and dried fruit. Stuffings and pilafs are also among the current SpicenEasy product's suggested uses.

Use as a Finishing Garnish

A small sprinkle of toasted Pine Nuts can finish hummus, soups, dips, pasta and roasted vegetables with extra flavour and texture.

Storage

Keep Pine Nuts tightly sealed in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place. Because nuts contain natural oils, refrigeration can help maintain freshness when storing them for longer periods; this is also recommended on the current SpicenEasy page.
