What is Walnut Turkish delight?
Walnut Turkish delight is a bite-sized style of lokum, the Turkish confection made by cooking sugar, starch and water until the mixture sets, then adding walnuts. The nuts may be folded through the soft mixture or placed between pieces, depending on the maker. In Turkey, it is commonly offered with tea or coffee and served to guests, especially at celebrations and holidays. Its yielding, chewy texture contrasts with the walnuts’ crunch. It is chiefly a sugar-and-carbohydrate sweet, with the walnuts adding a little richness; a 100 g portion provides 83.5 g of carbohydrates. Enjoy a small piece alongside unsweetened tea or coffee, or serve it with fresh fruit for a less sugary-feeling treat.
