Also use in the less common pesto sauces. Like roasted red pepper, sun dried tomato, scapes (garlicky). I’ve seen recipes for beet pesto But have never tried it myself. Easy do freeze, easy to use on pasta, diluted as a sauce on a meat or fish.

If you are having guests to dinner and use pine tree nuts in anything you have prepared - be sure none of your guests have tree nut allergies.

Not having ever seen pine tree nuts before, I had a very violent reaction to a few that were sprinkled in a salad. My host knew I was allergic to walnuts, cashews, almonds etc., but, never imagined pine nuts would also be an issue.

What do you use pine nuts for? I'm not interested in anything like cookies, cake, etc that requires baking.



... great dishes are steamed rice and pine nuts, with charcoaled skewered lamb, Greek salad (olive oil with fresh lime and lemon juice dressing, fresh baklava desert with expresso

Toss some into an alfredo sauce, or other white sauce and serve with pasta.


Add to stir fry at the last second.


Add to rice pilaf.



I researched planting pinon pines because I had suitable growing conditions for them, but they take 50-80 years before they start to produce.


Ponderosa pines produce an excellent pinon nut, but good luck with beating the squirrels to them.

YES! They would and do make a good sub for slivered almonds. I was making green beans almondine for guests, and for some reason, my DH picked up pine nuts at the store. I used them anyway, and they were really delicious.

They can be a crunchy crust for fish or chicken.

I haven't purchased any, but used to harvest them. It was so labor-intensive & they were so good that we just ate them as a snack, but I think they would be great with a mixed greens salad, arugula, endive, spinach, etc.

I toast them in a pan (low heat for just long enough to lightly brown them). I make pasta with garlic, basil, olive oil and pine nuts.

I had a dog who used to snuffle through the duff under PondeBullBoxer31 to find crunchable pine nuts.

*snuffle snuffle snuffle* *crunch crunch crunch*

She was a weirdo.
