Peeling Hazelnuts

December 2, 2013 by Valerie Lugonja 1 Comment

Peeling Hazelnuts is a basic skill necessary for many recipes

Peeling Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts must be toasted to shed their bitter outer skin. That is a good thing, as toasting brings the flavour out of any nut and the hazelnut is best when toasted.

Peeling Hazelnuts

Take a good look at those gorgeous, plump, fresh hazelnuts, above. Peeling hazelnuts is not possible with aged wizened nuts. It is important that you have fresh, plump nut meats.

Peeling Hazelnuts

Once toasted, the shells tend to separate from the nut, but not without coaxing. You can see some have split as the nut has enlarged from the heat. Now is the time to rub the skin off the oily surface of the nut.

Peeling Hazelnuts

A tea towel works well. Into the tea towel, twisted end, then rub them together with zeal. The friction will cause the skins to shed from the nuts.

Peeling Hazelnuts

There will be a few that have been lost in the crowd and they will shed their skins in the second rubbing once those skinned have been taken out of the pouch.

Peeling Hazelnuts

The amount of bitter skins is surprising. Discard this carefully before working with peeling hazelnuts second time round. The gorgeous globules of fragrant nutty goodness make it all worthwhile. If you are having difficulty with this process, your nuts are simple old. Otherwise, this works like a charm, every time.

.
These are by far the BEST meatballs I have ever tasted. Truly. The flavour in them had far surpassed my expectations. It was not a lot of work, and I enjoyed my time making these with my daughter @ragsmarie ! A little goes a long way!
.
What does REBOOT mean? In an nut shell, I  started a journey in June with the company Evolv to reboot my health. And since my Husband and my daughter have joined me this year, @ragsmarie and I have decided to meet once a week to prepare dishes that are a fit for our program as well as delicious and freezer friendly. Thanks to #Pinterest and our own creative minds, we have many more recipes to come!
.
For more detailed information on my journey and how it is changing my life, please read my newest post on my website www.acanadianfoodie.com

our family really craves bread. And what we’ve all ventured off into this journey with @evolvhealth , bread was something of the past based on its nutrients and goals. So I received this recipe and decided to try it with my daughter who is rebooting her gut with me too. This is 5 ingredients and so much more substantial than we expected. Even my husband has loved this recipe too!
