{"product_id":"light-amber-walnut-halves-1kg","title":"Light Amber Walnut Halves, 1kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Light Amber Walnut Halves are a step above the standard supermarket bag - sourced for their colour grade as much as their flavour. Light amber is the designation given to the paler colour, freshest-tasting kernels, where the skin is thin and the bitterness that can make cheaper walnuts so difficult to love is kept firmly in check. What you get instead is a clean, buttery richness with just enough earthiness to make them interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey work as well in the bowl as they do in the oven. Toast a handful in a dry pan for three or four minutes and scatter over a bitter leaf salad with blue cheese and a honey-mustard dressing, or fold through a bowl of porridge with sliced banana. In baking they bring real depth - a walnut and coffee loaf, a classic brownie studded through with chunks, or pressed into the top of a banana bread before it goes in the oven. They're also quietly excellent stirred through pasta with gorgonzola and wilted spinach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipes to try using this ingredient:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Wake Up to the Best Porridge Recipe\" href=\"https:\/\/somersetfoodie.com\/blogs\/recipes\/wake-up-to-the-best-porridge\"\u003eWake Up to the Best Porridge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Recipe for Cranberry, Almond and Walnut Florentines\" href=\"https:\/\/somersetfoodie.com\/blogs\/recipes\/cranberry-almond-and-walnut-florentines\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCranberry, Almond and Walnut Florentines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight amber grading means paler, fresher kernels with a cleaner, less bitter flavour than standard walnuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomerset Foodie own-brand, packed to our spec and checked for quality\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brilliant storecupboard staple that earns its place in sweet and savoury cooking equally\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free; suitable for vegetarians and vegans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor toasted walnuts, spread 100g in a single layer in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan regularly, until fragrant and just starting to colour.
