Buy nuts that look and smell fresh, and keep opened packages in the fridge or freezer. If you prefer to always avoid pine nuts, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

• 

  1 tsp lemon zest
• 

  1 small garlic clove, finely grated

  ¼ tsp black pepper
  Ingredient note

  Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many.

When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid red pepper flakes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
