What can I substitute for pine nuts?
Just was wondering if there is a good substitute for pine nuts as they
are so expensive. There are a lot of recipes that I come across that
call for them and they look wonderful, but the price is a tad
on the high side. Any suggestions?
Dr. Gourmet Says...
I like using slivered almonds in recipes a lot and they work great in place
of pine nuts. Sliced almonds can work as well, but they don't offer the
same crunchy texture that pinenuts do.
