Heart-Warming Fall Hazelnut Recipes

Well nestled in its shell which will have damaged many nutcrackers, the hazelnut, all round, adapts to all recipes. If it works perfectly savory, paired with squash or a meat tartare, it is in sweet that it expresses all its potential. With dark or milk chocolate for the classic tandem; oilseeds like almonds in addictive granola; with cocoa in vegetable milk; or even in an autumn recipe with apples, everything is possible.

The different states of the hazelnut

Hazelnut can be used in different ways. Whole or roughly chopped, it fits easily into a chocolate cake batter or a spread. It can also be mixed to transform it into powder, much less expensive than already ready hazelnut powder. You can also mix whole hazelnuts for a long time to transform them into puree. The ideal is to have a powerful robot to quickly extract the oil from the oilseeds. The advantage of preparing your own puree is that you are sure of what you put inside, in particular the quantity of sugar. In the same spirit, we prepare our homemade praline based on hazelnuts or an almond-hazelnut mixture, to be included in a Paris-Brest to die for!

Whatever the way of processing the hazelnuts, it is strongly recommended to roast them when they are whole to give maximum flavor to its preparation. So there is more depth of taste and deliciousness to spare.
