How to peel hazelnuts

Name: How to peel hazelnuts
Yield: 300 g
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 300 g hazelnuts

The skin of whole hazelnuts, unlike that of almonds, doesn't improve their taste - on the contrary.

So you need to remove it before using them, and here's how.

For 300 g, you will need:

1 300 g hazelnuts
Total weight: 300 grams

Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Pour 300 g hazelnuts onto a baking sheet.

Stage 2

Bake for 10 minutes at 180°C (360°F).

Stage 3

After this time, you'll see that the hazelnut skin has darkened and cracked.

Stage 4

Pour the hazelnuts onto a tea towel and leave to cool for a few minutes.

Stage 5

Fold back the tea towel...

Stage 6

...and roll the hazelnuts back and forth between them for 1 or 2 minutes, pressing the cloth tightly.

Stage 7

Open the tea towel and remove the hazelnuts, which are already well peeled.

Stage 8

Fold the cloth over the remaining hazelnuts, and repeat the operation until all your hazelnuts are skinless.

Stage 9

You may have a few "resistant" hazelnuts, which retain a small piece of skin, as in the photo.

There are three possible solutions:

1) Put them back in the oven on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, and start all over again.

2) Scrape off the remaining skins with a knife.

3) Keep them as they are, as this little bit of remaining skin isn't really a problem, unless your hazelnuts are going to be used for decoration.

Stage 10

You'll appreciate the difference in appearance and taste between raw hazelnuts and peeled, roasted ones.
