Cooking with Nuts

Whether you’re blending them into a sauce, tossing them into a salad, or baking them into a golden, nutty crumble, nuts bring crunch, creaminess, and added flavour to all kinds of dishes. Nuts are high in nutrients, rich in healthy fats and give your meals and snacks a good boost of protein.

This collection of recipes will make nuts the hero of the table whether it's a nutty rice dish, a satay bowl, peanut cookies, or an almond meal cake. Don’t forget, most nuts can be swapped out for a different nut—so check what you have on hand, and experiment with almonds instead of pine nuts, pecans instead of macadamias, or peanuts instead of cashews.

The best place to store nuts is in an airtight container in the fridge. This stops nuts going rancid, and helps to maintain their distinct flavour. They'll last well for 4-6 months in the fridge, and up to 12 months if stored in the freezer.
