6/10: Bonjour Paris Etsy Craft Party Roasted Nuts By Chef Juan Huerta
Pralinette
1 Generous Cup of Hazel Nuts (150 g.) 2/3 Cup of Sugar (150 g.) 2 T. + 2 tsp. of Water (38 g.) (Optional: 1 1 tsp. of Cinnamon (15 20 g.))
Heat the oven to 350. Skin the Hazel Nuts: put them on a cookie sheet and let them roast for 3-5 minutes. You know theyre ready when you look at them and the skins are starting to split and come loose. Take them out and rub some between your hands so the skins fall off. Try to get as much of the skins off as you can, if theyre really stuck on there, thats OK. First pour the water, then the sugar into a hemispheric copper bowl or a wok. (Clean the copper with lemon juice and salt and dry it first. Or if youre using a wok, make sure it is very clean & scoured and there is no oily residue left in it.) Brush the side of the bowl with water to keep the edges clean of any crystals of sugar. Cook the sugar over a medium high heat until it is 245 (118-120 C) then pour in the nuts and cinnamon. Immediately turn down the heat to medium. Stir the mixture until the sugar crystallizes again, making sure to break up any clusters of nuts that form. Immediately pour out onto a silicone sheet or onto a length of aluminum foil. You dont want to let this cook more or the sugar will began to caramelize and color. Let cool for a few minutes before handling. If you dont use the pralinette right away, you can store it in an airtight container.
