  • Next, break the walnuts into smaller pieces and briefly toast them along with pine nuts in some olive oil until they achieve a nice golden-brown colour. Set aside for now.

  • In this step, we will sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for about 10 minutes until they are beautifully caramelised. This is when wonderful flavours will infuse into the dish later. Keep stirring, so not to burn the onions.
