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.

There's a vaguely Jamie Oliver based pesto that I sometimes make where you put almonds, cherry tomatoes, and plenty of raw garlic, chilli and fresh basil in a blender, and then eat it with pasta. Depending on the exact proportions you might or might not need olive oil, but I find that enough oil comes out of the almonds to make it a sensible consistency. IIRC Jamie wants you to do something slightly complicated involving blanching the pesto with the pasta water, but I find that makes it way too watery, and it's fine to just drain the pasta in the normal way and mix the sauce in with the hot pasta, that cooks it quite enough.

If you want more protein, grated parmesan or equivalent hard cheese is friends with the pesto. And / or you can use it as a sauce for pasta with fake chicken chunks, instead of just a sauce for plain pasta.
