How to Toast and Peel Hazelnuts

hazelnuts

baking tray

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cover with as many hazelnuts as you need, just make sure that they aren't overcrowded. Bake for 15 minutes.

Set the baking tray on a heat safe surface and allow them to cool completely. As the nuts cool, they are continuing to steam cook inside of their skins. 

Once cooled, easily remove the skins by taking a handful of them in a rough dish towel and gently  rubbing.  Alternatively, you could just take a small handful and rub them together with your two hands. The skins will just fall off.

Awesome. These freshly shelled nuts have so much more flavor.

Thanks for info. It made the taste much easier. I wanted to use up some nuts I had for Christmas and your cookie recipe looked too good to pass up.

Thank you. This helped a lot. Always found this task of peeling so frustrating.

This ricotta-filled cake is topped off with coffee, caramel and hazelnut flavours, making it the ultimate decadent dessert.

(250 grams) hazelnut meal

(300 grams) plain flour

This creamy pumpkin risotto is made with caramelized onions and topped with toasted hazelnuts and crispy sage! It&#039;s the perfect cozy fall meal!

Pumpkin Risotto

unsalted butter (divided)

sage leaves

unsalted hazelnuts (roughly chopped)

unsalted butter

onions

garlic (thinly sliced)

salt

black pepper

arborio rice

white cooking wine (optional)

vegetable stock (substitute chicken stock

sage (minced)

nutmeg

pumpkin puree

parmesan cheese

The toasted hazelnuts and sage are optional, but a great topping to add texture to the risotto!

In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium high heat. Then add in the sage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes or until crispy. Immediately remove from the heat and pour off into a small dish and set aside.

In the same pan, melt 1 more tablespoon of butter and then add in the chopped hazelnuts and toast gently for 2-4 minutes or until the nuts are toasted and the butter is browned. Remove from the heat and pour off into a small dish and set aside.

Toasted Hazelnuts &amp; Crispy Sage

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add in the sliced onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook slowly for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft, golden brown, and beginning to caramelize. If you want to speed up the process slightly, you can add in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar once the onions are soft.

In a medium pot, heat your vegetable stock over medium heat until simmering (you can also use a microwave if you&#39;re lazy). Remove from the heat and set aside.

Add in the rice to the skillet with the onions and toast, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes. Then add in the white wine to de-glaze the pan and make sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.

Add in ½ cup of the warmed vegetable stock, fresh sage, and nutmeg and stir the risotto until the stock is completely absorbed, then add in another ½ cup and repeat. Continue to add in the stock ½ cup at a time until it’s all absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.

Then stir in the pumpkin puree and parmesan cheese until fully combined and creamy. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Top the pumpkin risotto with the toasted hazelnuts and crispy sage and enjoy!

Do you have a substitution for onion? I have a guest that is allium sensitive

This was delicious! Don’t skip out on the hazelnuts.. it really tied the whole dish together. Can’t wait to make it again :)
