Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, you can add a small knob of butter to the spicy honey glaze.
If you don't have walnuts, other nuts like pecans or almonds can be used.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for dipping into the glaze.
To toast the walnuts, bake them in a single layer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
