This is the time of the year for piñon pine nuts here in Northern Nevada. Simple to roast, 325℉/163℃ for 10-20 minutes. Bigger and creamier than standard pine nuts found in grocery stores!

Sauteed dandelion greens, mushrooms and other things with pureed cannellini beans served on toasted crostini. A good side but here I made it the main dish. -J
