The nuts add a mildly sweet note to the mix and provide texture. If I were to leave them out, I would add a tiny bit of sugar--just a pinch should do it. Or substitute poppyseeds if you can eat poppyseeds; this would be "black and gold chicken," I guess. The nuts, BTW, look a bit odd to modern eyes because they are not slivered or chopped, just sort of sitting there in the sauce. But imagine eating with your fingers and things become clear.
