Walnuts

An enriched, festive loaf inspired by the Tuscan pan co’ santi. This deeply flavourful bread is studded with walnuts and raisins, scented with rosemary and fennel, and features the nutty depth of wholemeal emmer flour.

Generally, pesto is made with pine nuts, basil, olive oil & a hard cheese like Parmesan or pecorino. However, Josiah has created this recipe as a wonderful seasonal alternative using winter greens like Cavolo Nero. Walnuts are also substituted for pine nuts as they have a similar oil rich texture and earthy flavour.

Adapted from an Ottolenghi recipe in the Guardian's Feast supplement - this is an absolute winner and demonstrates a brilliant way with walnuts, as well as our superb pink Flamingo peas.
