A discovery

[florafloraflora]

I discovered something just now while making dinner for breakfast. I chopped up some pine nuts and toasted them in a dry skillet to sprinkle on top of my pasta, and to my amazement the aroma and flavor of them is very bacon-y, especially with some added salt. They've got a surprising smoky, umami flavor that I never would have guessed from eating

Oooo. Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't toasted them before! Good to know.

I do recommend chopping them up as finely as you can. The more browned surfaces, the more bacon-y they taste.
