Nuts, and what to do with them
« on: April 05, 2012, 03:54:56 PM »
I've been given a load of hazelnuts, prolly a couple of pounds in weight but by the time I've cracked them and revealed the nut it's going to be much less obviously. The question is ... what to do with them?

I'm thinking it might be a batch of Romesco sauce or possibly some hazelnut butter, or possibly some home made Nutella  cloud9:
After shelling I need to toast them and then, I'm told, "rub your nuts together in a paper towel or sieve to remove the skin"  eeek:

So, who's the VP Nut King or Queen then with advice, eh?

I have received a transatlantic encrypted message regarding knots and what to do with them, having consulted a very old, wrinkled but wise Mexican woman, she said......

"How the f**k should I know."

I then Googled the word, visit this site and all will be revealed.

In the meantime I have made a romesco sauce, courtesy of Sophie Grigson. I peddled back on the paprika and the cayenne pepper but even so it's rather ...
