Sprinkle with the vinegar, reduce heat to medium, and cook, covered, until golden and tender, about 18 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add a couple of tablespoons of water at any point if it seems they’re sticking to the pan.

5

Add the walnuts, and cook, stirring just until combined, about 1 minute.
