- Orange salad … Defrost green peas (100 grams), put in water and cook for 5 minutes. Cut the orange (1 piece) so that you get only fillets, all films and white "villi" must be carefully removed. Cool the peas and sprinkle a little with juice from the "waste" from cutting an orange. Peel and cut carrots (1 piece) into thin slices, a vegetable peeler will help a lot in this matter. Put the peas in a plate first, then the coarsely chopped orange pulp. At this point, add salt to the salad to taste and add olive oil.

Carefully add water (350 ml) into the mixture and knead the dough - but not with your hands, but with a spoon, it will be watery, and you will not be able to knead it with your hands. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film, put in a warm place for 5 hours. Grease a baking dish with oil, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Stir in the drank nuts and sunflower seeds to taste, and leave to rise for another 30 minutes. Transfer the dough to the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Check readiness with a match.

Interesting facts about drank nuts
Canarium Filipino is an evergreen tree, reaching 20 meters in height. There are about 600 species of this plant in the world, and not everyone's fruits are edible, some varieties have bitter nuts with an unpleasant odor, which is often compared to turpentine.
The pericarp of the nut was drunk - the very pulp that needs to be removed to get to the nucleolus is also edible, but only boiled. In addition, it is actively used in industry for the production of oil, which is subsequently used in cooking, soap making and … the manufacture of fuel for oil lamps. Young leaves of the tree are also used in cooking, they are added to salads.
The walnut shell also finds an interesting application. Firstly, it is an excellent combustible material, and therefore it is used as a fuel. Secondly, its porosity allows it to be added to the substrate for planting orchids.
The pili nut is supplied to our region very reluctantly due to the high price, which generates low purchasing activity. In turn, the high cost is explained by the fact that this culture is difficult to "accustom" to other regions; it grows well only in Southeast Asia.
However, it is worth noting that the Filipino Canarium is currently being actively studied, ways of growing it in other regions are being developed, which should in the near future lead to its spread outside the "homeland". I must say that a few decades ago the same situation existed in relation to the macadamia nut, and today it has already been successfully resolved.
