Omega 3 Buttered Walnuts

Who said eating omega 3 had to be fishy? Walnuts are one of the top three omega 3 fatty acid providers alongside cold water fish and flax seed. Personally, this is the only one I would like to have caramelized! If you’re a pecan fan, they substitute here very well. This is a nice treat to put in a pretty bowl for snacking when guests are over.
