1. 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnut pieces on a cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes until fragrant and toasted. Remove the walnuts to a tea towel to cool. When cool, rub together gently but vigorously in the towel to remove the bitter skins.

Cover the bowl with cling film and microwave for 3 - 3 1/3 minutes. Remove cling film and stir.
