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.

Remarks

To store, allow to cool before placing in jars.

Keeping: Several weeks in a closed jar.

How to keep a tart pastry case crisp

The problem with tarts, and fruit tarts in particular, is that the filling (fruit, cream or whatever) ends up soaking into the pastry and turns it soft. Here is a professional tip for avoiding this problem: spread a thin layer of white chocolate, which does not have a strong flavour, in the bottom of the tart. This seals the pastry and it will stay crisp. French pastry chef have a verb for that, it's "chablonner".
