Pine Nuts
Pine nuts, often referred to as pignole (Italian) in the culinary world, are a beautiful addition to so many of my favorite recipes. Pine nuts are the seed from pine cones of the pinyon tree or stone pine, which produce larger seeds that the type of pine trees in the Midwest and the main reason we can’t just grow pine nuts here in the Chicagoland area.
Some of my favorite recipes using pine nuts are:
Pesto
Fig and Pine Nut Stuffing
