Same!❤

my throat got itchy just from eating it with my eyes, but good video it was worth it haha

Same! 😂

😂

Me too!

I want more Kush! He's the best.

Knows how to handle his nuts

Actually this time round it was myself who prepared these dishes, Kush was present but it wasn't the chef 😏

​@@ItssKhaosssGood work, man. 😙👌

Honestly this is the best feedback - thank you!

You’d hope so given how many videos recently are paid…. Either that or a massive ad for an overpriced event in the middle. They’ve gone painfully commercial.

@@rosswrighthqand still youre here putting a comment 🤣

I could not unsee it 😭

Hahaha, I came here to say the same thing - that pesky little scamp moving caught my eye straight away…..not quite the sexies that one 😂

I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it😂

Noticed it too

I saw it and had to watch it again to check. My housemate said he didn't believe me. He had to watch it a few more times and I even pointed out twice before he admitted it existed. That fly got far too much attention 😂

At this point, we should just fully "ship" them and call them "Berry" ;-)

Jamie and Mike had a moment of synchronization too lol

@@alexsis1778 You mean Jike?

It must be from living in that country cottage together

@@yyflower and having baths together to save water

Yess I was kinda hoping for this to come up, love this dish (I make a vegetarian version with aubergine)

I was hoping to see it, too.

I have made veggie fesenjan and I can tell you, no matter how long you cook the stew, the walnuts never lose their texture. So before you start, decide what texture you want ie. fine or coars.

Black walnut ice cream!!!

Scrolled down here to find this! Black walnut ice cream is incredible! I've only seen it at Braum's which I no longer live near unfortunately. One of my favorite deserts was a mix of black walnut and german chocolate ice cream. @@yadayada752

Any advice on how to get the meat out? I struggle getting more than like 50% of it out of the shell

My friend who had black walnut trees did this. "I got two stones, one big and one small. I sat the nut, after shelling off the outer shell, on the big rock. I then put the nut on the big rock vein up. I then hit it ON the vein. It cracks in half easily." Good luck!

I miss black walnuts. Such a better more flavorful taste.

Did you made orzechówka too?

Same here in Austria.

The mushroom and walnut "lasagna" triggered a childhood memory for me: my babcia used to make a walnut/mushroom filling for pierogi, absolutely delicious and a combo of the variety of savoury and sweet pierogi that are such a staple of Polish cuisine.

@@danutagajewski3330 So I wasn't completely crazy when I was considering adding walnuts to my mushroom filling? So many meat free alternatives combine mushrooms and walnuts, so my brain did the "what if...?" scenario. I still haven't tried it yet, but now I'm going to have to.

In Serbia they used to be no.1 nut to use in sweets, grandmas would put them in everything, from baklava to different fancy cakes. Now they are more expensive than other, more egsotic nuts, even though they grow everywhere in abundance.

Yeah, it's wild to think of how much things have changed (for better and worse as with all things) with Sorted since the start. Like, I still think about/expect the old studio whenever I see a new Sorted video has been posted only to go "... Wait, they haven't been in that studio for like... A decade." The Pre-Beard Jamie Days. Also, I kinda miss Fridgecam. And Ovencam.

Thanks so much for your comment..... we're so glad you enjoyed the video!

If they posted their recipes in the description... They'd lose money from the app and they wouldn't do that XD

Google - lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes for it out there. I make a similar concoction as the base of a vegan ‘shepherds’ pie.

yess especially after they didnt really give a name to that one i think? i'd love to try and recreate it!

​@@leapintothewildooh that sounds delicious.

@@pjstrachman9003 Thx! It’s fast and easy: in a deep skillet or dutch oven, sauté mushrooms, walnuts and garlic with rosemary, adding veg broth if needed. Add frozen peas and carrots, drained chickpeas and lentils, more broth, salt, pepper, any seasonings you like - as well as tamari, Worcestershire or liquid aminos. Top with mashed potatoes, bake at 375 F for 30 min and broil for a few to get the top crunchy and brown. And heats up great for leftovers!

That’s an excellent suggestion, thank you! We will have to take a look 😁

Ive made it and it's quite easy. Delicious, as you say. best to roast your own red peppers, as often the peppers in jars are in vinegar and you can never get rid of that taste. Bored with hummus? Try this!

@@helenswan705Yeah, we usually use the jarred Red Peppers for time reasons, since this usually gets made for parties. But also because this is something where you can generally just have everything in the cupboard and pull it out to make whenever you want.

Unless you’ve got $10k, good luck

I was thinking black walnut. Both pecans and black walnut are native to North America. Black walnuts are hard as heck to get into, though.

I agree. But we all know how to use pecans in recipes, at least we do in the U.S. But they are my favorite nut.

Here in Texas, we use pecans in place of walnuts. They are native trees. When I was a kid in SE Texas, we never paid for pecans, I could gather a bucket full of them on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Pecan tress grown here in North Texas, but not in the same abundance.

Ooops, never paid for pecans. KZfaq won't let me edit my typos anymore.

YUM 😋

​@@SortedFoodYESSIR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Talking about the diff kinds would be good too, because that’s what usually confuses me - rolled, quick, instant???

@@takemetoglasgow09 The difference is pretty much just how they’re cut. Rolled oats (or slow cooking oats) are the oat grain with the husk removed, flattened. I think there’s some other basic processing there, they may be steamed as part of the process. Quick oats are the rolled oats cut smaller so they cook faster, instant are cut even smaller. It’s pretty much that simple, the smaller the grain is cut the faster it’ll absorb water and cook. Personally I prefer rolled oats because they have more texture. Then there’s steel cut oats, which are the hulled grain sorts chopped up rather than rolled. My family uses a ton of oats! We buy them in 25lb bags, and we go through that in a month and a half. Quick tip - if you want oat flour you can put some rolled oats in a blender or food processed and blend them up until they’ve turned to flour. You can leave them slightly rougher if you want to have a little texture or blend until they’re more smooth. Replacing some of the flour with oat flour in recipes like muffins can be delicious! Don’t replace all of it, it’ll taste very oaty, and oats don’t have enough gluten to hold together unless you’re following gluten free recipes, but oats are a very sweet grain with a higher fat content than most and so they add a delicious rich taste to things.

From my personal Czech experience I would say they may not be _quite_ as widespread and beloved and it's more up to personal taste than you make it sound (our birthday cakes were usually just sponge without the walnuts, for example). But 100% on them being kind of everywhere. There was a walnut tree in the kindergarten garden. There was one growing next to the road in my previous place of residence and I got my fill of walnuts just from picking them from the ground as I went past to and from the bus stop. In my current job, every autumn / winter someone just casually has big boxes of walnuts drying by the heaters... Because they're not grown in orchards like that, there just are walnut trees everywhere, here and there. Someone in Europe not knowing how walnuts grow was a bit of a shock for me. 😮 (Also a big yes to the walnut filling being delicious.) P.S. Rooks love them, too. 😂

Near to you we got it in Hungarian cooking

They’re the best of friends.

They live together in their country cottage

So glad you enjoyed it! We find it super fascinating too 😁

Same in France, we macerate full green walnuts in wine to make "vin de noix" (walnut wine litterally) It a great bitter but woody liquor. Italians do the same with nocino (except it s in stronger alcohol than wine)

Such a great combo 😋

​@@SortedFoodAMEN TO THAT😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

😂❤ Just left a long comment about the same thing!!

​@@leapintothewildme, too. Grew up with a lot of black walnuts. Fucking things STINK until they are dried out and hulled. And the juice of that hull will stain stuff.

@@joshp8535 haha We saved the hulls on purpose for staining! Great natural color for wood projects, as well as cotton fabric. But yep, we kept a stash of old towels to lay them on in the cellar because that stuff is impossible to get out! Did uou know you can make ink out of the hulls too? It’s an ‘artisanal’ thing now, but my grandad knew how to do it from his old relatives, evidently was common in civil war times.

I was just about to google whether I can grow a walnut tree in the UK... I'm guessing not!

Walnut trees grow well in England. It his given rise to a species called the English Walnut

Warm summer temps here easily exceed 40 and frequently hit 43+. Worst part of living in Sac.

So glad you enjoyed it 😁

You're the best 😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤

Never ever would I have thought I would ever hear one of the sorted food team say the “Sac Love” phrase and I was not disappointed. I just wish we could have seen more of their trip because of our vibrant food scene in sacramento and going up into the north valley.

Wow, how wonderful! 😋

Went to the comments for that reason only 😅

Same here 🤷‍♀️🙀🤪

Yay! That’s dedication for you!

Ooooh that sounds super interesting! Do you use it like normal flour?

​@@SortedFood😊😊😊😊

As a replacement for a part of the wheat flour in whatever you're cooking, they look like a used cat litter tray but get over that and it's fine@@SortedFood

But since they’re a seed… 🤔 Seriously, can you eat sunflower, pumpkin or sesame seeds? I’m on an elimination diet to determine food allergies, and can eat pumpkin and walnut seeds, but not pecans. Weird. But then, peanuts are legumes not nuts, too. Hmmm

@@leapintothewild Peanuts are both a legume and a nut, while pecans are not true nuts. Or rather, they are all nuts in a culinary sense, which I feel is way more relevant a classification.

You can have nuts once at least

as shown in the video, they are seeds, not nuts

They seem to be both nuts and seeds. From the USDA: “In botany terms, nuts are strictly a particular kind of dry fruit that has a single seed, a hard shell, and a protective husk. Chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans and walnuts fit the true definition of a nut. Peanuts and almonds do not meet the botanical definition of a true nut.” We saw how walnuts grow and they’re definitely a single seed in a hard shell. Even in the video they keep calling it a nut after saying it’s the seed in a shell. I’m allergic to the nuts listed but not peanuts or almonds so this is a conversation I have pretty often lol

That’s so much for the tasty suggestion 😋

Italians do exactly that and had trademark on their Nocino liqueur a long time ago.

It's also done in Poland.

Let us know what you think 😁

​@@SortedFoodLOVE walnut! You guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

@@SortedFoodreally liked the idea of them used in place of mince. Can imagine the texture would be really nice

I can vouch for the chopped walnut used in the lasagne/tacos they mentioned, I've used it in vegan dishes and it's really good. You can taste the walnut so it wouldn't convince anyone who didn't like the flavour, but if you do it's great!

@@Nurr0, any guidance you can provide for making the walnut taco mince? (I have a dear friend who is vegan and I want to broaden what I can serve her when she visits …. plus, I’m reducing my meat intake.)

Same here 🤷‍♀️🙀🤪

😂 hopefully you can still enjoy the vid!

Soooo good! Those honey bars sound like a treat too 😋

​@@SortedFoodthey are!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Glad it was helpful!

It's not "inexplicably" expensive, it's very easy to explain. Between population growth and (primarily) companies expanding their water usage we're using waaaaaay more water than is normally available here. So it either has to be pumped from further away or pumped from deeper down. And if the usage continues at this rate we're going to run out of water sooner or later.

Hahaha totally.

Yep. That’s where my mind went first. 😂

I agree with this, but this is not a walnut crop issue, it's a California water issue. Eastern European and Persian sourced walnuts can be more sustainable. Some are, some aren't.

Let us know if we change your mind? 👀

​@@SortedFoodYou guys certainly changed mine! And i love walnut!😊😊😊😊😊😊

@@SortedFoodI didn’t need convincing but I just don’t eat them often. I’m more of a cashew person.

I would like to know what his top 5 nuts are.

Costco walnuts, in the deep freeze! Yearlong happiness!
