How to peel hazelnuts

Name: How to peel hazelnuts
Yield: 300 g
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 300 g whole 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 whole hazelnuts
Total weight: 300 grams

Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Pour 300 g whole 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.
