2. Cook in a skillet, oven or your favorite method of heating meat alternatives until desired temperature is reached. You can use this walnut meat on everything! and anything.Try it in pasta, on salads, or in tacos!
3. Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
