Notes
Toasting brings out the full flavor of nuts and also helps them stay crisp when combined with moist ingredients. Use a dry skillet to toast a small amount of nuts over medium heat for just a few minutes, stirring them occasionally. Sense of smell is key in judging when they're toasted, but watch closely-the smaller the pieces are, the quicker they cook!
