Sub Almonds for Walnuts in Baklava?

[dimi_pat]

I don't know if you recall but I had been trying to make walnut cake for a while. I was finally successful, and to follow up, the issue was not enough fat in the batter.

Okay, now that I sorted all that out, I am burned out from walnuts.

Someone is requesting my baklava but I need a break from walnuts. Is it okay to sub almonds? I have done it before. My gut is that it's fine...

By all means use almonds and enjoy! I think you can use most any nut in baklava with the exception of peanuts, which are really not a nut but a legume.

Yes, I agree. I say go for it! I also agree that peanuts would be odd...
