In an effort to eat more nuts, I made this potato and cashew curry and lo it was good.


Do you have other good nut recipes? Will you please share?
Sweet or savoury, I don't mind. I promise to try it but reserve the right to substitute ingredients if the recipe you find is full of stuff I don't like/can't eat.

I'm still looking for a good pecan pie recipe, so if you've got one of those I'd love to hear it.

That looks nice. Possibly similar to this (which has chicken in the name, but even as a meat-eater I think it works perfectly well with the chicken left out). My nut recipe recommendations would be that and Nanaimo bars, although I guess neither has nuts as a main ingredient. I also like cashews in stir-fry. And home-made almond slices. The recipe I use is on the semolina packet, but this is all I could find and it doesn't use semolina so isn't quite the same.

Thank you! I'll try them all. Does the semolina go in the pastry or the filling?It might be worth my trying to sub some in, it seems like if it's the pastry it might make it more short-bready?

In the filling. When I get around to it I'll look on the packet and let you know specifically.

OK, the filling in the recipe on the semolina packet is:
50g semolina, 50g ground almonds, 125g caster sugar, 1 egg, 1/4 tsp almond essence, 75g melted margarine.
(So nuttier than the version with just flour!)

Thank you! I was thinking to replace some of the flour with ground almonds as I don't think I have any semolina, but I also don't have any almond essence so this might have to wait until after next shop.

(Also the semolina version uses bought pastry, although I'm sure either version would work fine with either kind of pastry.)
