Walnut sauce, the simplest recipe to accompany your festive recipes Ingredients

1.We peel the walnuts and toast them lightly in the pan, stirring continuously so that they do not burn. This way we get the bitterness of the walnut to disappear. We booked.

2.Chop the shallot and garlic, and poach them over low heat in a pan with two tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper and add a level tablespoon of flour, stirring as if to remove the raw flavor and forming a roux.

3.Add the homemade chicken broth - you can also use vegetable broth if you prefer - and the nuts, letting everything mix well and bring to a boil. Then we lower the heat and cook for five more minutes.

4.We crush the sauce with the mixer and give it the desired level of consistency, adding a little more broth if necessary, if we see that it is too thick. And we already have the sauce ready for our meat and poultry recipes.

5.If we want to use the walnut sauce to make Italian pasta dishes, we add the Parmesan cheese once the process is finished and we taste and rectify the salt and ground black pepper, if necessary.

5.With what recipes you can use the walnut sauce
