A Moosewood recipe which is quick and easy. And great for those omega 3 healthy fats [at least that is what I tell myself...]

Provided by Missy Wombat

Categories     Sauces

Time 6m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Combine the toasted walnuts and the maple syrup. Heat if desired.
  • Spoon over icecream or frozen yoghurt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh maple syrup for the best flavor. Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener that adds a rich, complex flavor to the sauce.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the sauce. Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is a healthy and flavorful choice for this sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it thickens slightly. Overcooking the sauce will make it too thick and pasty.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. The sauce can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, pork, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for fruit or crackers. No matter how you choose to use it, maple walnut sauce is sure to be a hit.
