Walnut pilaf is one of the simplest and most delicious pilafs I want to share. This simple and tasty dish is an excellent choice for those looking for a healthy and oil-free meal. I experienced similar walnut pilaf for the first time in a Turkish restaurant; it was very tasty and attractive. The ingredients of the walnut pilaf I ate in the restaurant were different, for example, it used different dried fruits and nuts. It was a good option for me to choose walnut pilaf ingredients according to my creativity.
So I started making walnut pilaf with my recipe; I only used walnuts and aromatic spices and made this walnut pilaf very healthy; that is, I did not use any oil in walnut pilaf because walnuts have useful oil and in my opinion, It is a pity that another oil is combined with walnut oil.
Have you ever challenged yourself to make oil-free meals?
So, follow the attractive walnut pilaf recipe:
