Step by step cooking of fried walnuts in a pan, recipe with photo:
1. Split the walnut shells using a special device or in any convenient way. Peeled kernels are best roasted in halves or quarters. However, since the cooking process on the stove is easy to control, you can use smaller pieces.
2. Place the kernels in a clean, dry skillet on the stove and turn on medium heat. Use only dry heat as the fat and oil in the nuts is sufficient for frying. Try to keep the kernels in one layer - then they will brown evenly.
3. Sear the nuts, stirring frequently until brown. With frequent stirring, they will cook for the same amount of time, and as a result, you will get evenly toasted kernels without burnt fruit, or there will be very few of them. The frying time will take about 5-10 minutes, depending on the degree of browning you want. Small pieces will cook faster. Finished pan-fried walnuts will have a dark brown color and toasted flavor.
Remove toasted nuts from heat and place on a flat worktop to cool to desired temperature for serving. Otherwise, they will continue to fry on hot metal.
Do not fry the nuts in advance, as in a few days they will lose the acquired taste and aroma, and even after roasting they deteriorate much faster. Fry them just before adding them to the dish.
