Pack Choi with Walnut Butter and Dates
Pane-Bistecca
It doesn’t matter whether you serve this pack choi with walnut butter and dates as a starter or a side dish, because it is incredibly special and delicious!
As pack choi tastes a little nutty, walnuts go perfectly with it. The butter with the spices, chopped dates and herbs, plus the sweet balsamic vinegar, a real delicacy!
I made part of it in the TM6, which shortened the working time and kept the kitchen clean.
