The 'Sausage' made of forest nuts and prunes is a refined dessert inspired by European traditions of making natural sweets. Prunes give it a rich, slightly tart flavor that harmonizes with the delicate forest nuts. Sesame adds a subtle nutty note, while star anise brings a warm spicy touch, deepening the taste. This treat requires no thermal processing, preserving all the beneficial properties of the ingredients. It is perfect for cozy tea gatherings or as a nutritious snack. When served, it is sliced into thin pieces, resembling classic dessert rolls. An excellent option for those who appreciate naturalness and richness of flavors!
