6 unexpected ways to use nuts
As good as they are on their own, or set in a slab of caramel, nuts can add a whole new dimension to a roast pork fillet (peanuts), a glorious stuffed chicken (almonds) or cheesy onion bake (macadamias). And don’t get us started on dessert: cashews and tigers and pistachios – oh my! Bianca Strydom share all these nutty recipes for you to try.
