Chef's Notes
Treat every ingredient with absolute respect. The lemon zest elevates the entire profile, so grate only the bright yellow skin and avoid the bitter white pith at all costs!
Pro Tip
Toast your pine nuts with unblinking vigilance! They go from perfectly golden to charcoal dust in a fraction of a second.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the pine nuts unattended on the stove for even three seconds while you check your phone will instantly turn your expensive nuts into a smoking, bitter tragedy.
