Nutritional Tips
Walnuts are one of the richest plant sources of omega – 3 fatty acids available. A handful of walnuts provides as much omega – 3 as 75g (3oz) portion of salmon. Walnut oil is also rich in omega – 3.

I like this recipe. However, I couldn’t prepare this for we don’t have walnuts.
I will try it this coming holiday. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
