If you are a nut lover like me, you will love this recipe! I was literally eating it from the bowl, and served with chicken it is the perfect Paleo feast! This keeps for up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It is also vegan friendly so If you fancy a meat free dinner this is great served alongside some creamy potatoes and roasted veggies!

Ingredients:

- 1 brown onion dice finely

- 2 sticks celery chopped thinly

- 8 fresh sage leaves- roughly chopped

- 1 large garlic clove- peeled and diced finely

- 2 sprigs of rosemary – leave pulled off and chopped

- tbsp. thyme leaves

- 2 tbsp. virgin olive oil or coconut oil

- ½ small Brambley apple- grated in large cuts

- 120g whole almonds

- 50g walnuts

- pinch of salt

Stuff that!

Stuff that!

Method:

- Start by adding the oil into a saucepan over medium heat, then add in the onions and sweat them with the lid on for 6 minutes until tender and almost translucent (not browned).

- Next stir in the celery, garlic and herbs cooking for 5 minutes to combine all the flavors. The celery and onion should be cut very finely that at this stage they have only a tiny bit of bite and are mostly tender.

- Stir in the apple and cook for 1 minute.

- Remove from the heat and leave to one side while you prepare the nuts.

- In a food processor add the walnuts and almonds and blend for 40 seconds to a minute until they are broken down into a breadcrumb like texture.

- Stir the nuts and a pinch of salt into the herbed mix and you are ready to serve!
