  • Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and discard it. Add the pine nuts and almonds to the oil remaining in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are slightly brown.

  1. Great flavors and textures. I used one fourth the oil, four times the garlic and left it in (hey, it's a Spanish recipe!), just a sprinkle of salt and prosciutto that I crisped in the oven (as in Recipe #319957). Everything goes together swimmingly.
     
  2. This is one of my favorite recipes I've made on ZWT! Just perfection on a plate. I've used one nut or the other, but from now on, I'll use both! Thanks for sharing!
