Selection and preparation of ingredients

To ensure that the dish turns out delicious and matches the recipe, you need to prepare and select the ingredients correctly.

Did you know? Leonardo da Vinci used walnut oil to make paints.

When purchasing walnuts, consider the following rules:

  • The fruit must be whole, including the shell. If the nuts are peeled, they lose some of their beneficial properties, and bacteria develop on the surface;
  • absence of unpleasant odors;
  • shell density. The stronger it is, the more likely it is that the fruit inside is not dry.

When purchasing chicken, carefully inspect its color and aroma. The fillet should not be too bright or pale. Choose cuts of meat that have a natural flavor.

Preparing the ingredients involves washing them thoroughly under running water. After this, the mushrooms need to be peeled, and the nuts should be heated in the oven for 20 minutes (at a temperature of 180°C).


When choosing mushrooms, choose only those that have a uniform surface (no spots). Their smell should not be pungent.
