2. Chop the walnuts or pecans; toast in the oven at a low temperature until fragrant, or dry-toast in a skillet over low heat until aromatic
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; sauté the onion until softened and translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant

5. Stir in all the dried cranberries, the chopped nuts, the sliced almonds, the parsley, and the optional rosemary; add all the lemon zest, then season with salt and black pepper and mix well
6. Taste and adjust seasoning, then plate
