I’ve been at a loss lately when it comes to deciding what to make for dinner. When this happens I attack the many printed out recipes I have, food magazines etc. I usually bookmark a bunch of recipes and then soon forget them. Somehow, I’ve passed this recipe a few times. Probably because I have never tried cashews so I wasn’t sure if I’d like them. My husband likes cashews and I had all of the ingredients, except the nuts in my pantry, so I figured it was a good recipe to try. Something new and different, but easy enough for a weeknight.
My husband then proclaimed, “I don’t like nuts in foods.” He doesn’t like them in cookies or breads. So, I sighed and then made it anyway! We both agreed that the nuts really add this wonderful warmth and depth to this dish and take on this great flavor.
