How To Roast And Skin Hazelnuts

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees f. Place the nuts in a shallow pan.
Place in the oven until the skins crack and begin to flake off, 10 to
15 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure even roasting.
Working with a few nuts at a time, place the nuts in a rough kitchen
cloth. Rub vigorously to remove the skins. Most of the skins will  come
off, but don't worry if some cling to the nut. Cool the nuts
completely before using.  Hazelnuts (also called filberts) are part of
the new Oregon cuisine.  Rich and buttery, the sweetest of all nuts,
they have a vague smoky  undertaste. Local cooks often roast them,
which brings out their full  complexity.  Oregon's Cuisine of the Rain,
