Ingredients

  • 2 cup Hazel nuts with skins
  • 3 tbsp baking soda
  • 3 cup water

Method

  • Bring 3 cups water to low boil and slowly add baking soda, stirring to combine.
  • Add nuts.
  • Watch the heat, keep a low boil and remove excess foam as necessary for a total of about 3 minutes.
  • Drain nuts in a colander.
  • Under cold water slip off skins by hand and toss on kitchen towel.
  • Once all skins removed, place on baking tray and toast at 350 for 10 minutes or until golden as this will depend on how much water the nuts have absorbed.
  • Recipe adapted from Julia Child/ Alice Medrich- both are credited with this method.
