Toasted Hazelnut And Shredded Carrot Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the hazelnuts in a dry, non-stick pan until golden. Leave to cool a little, then roughly chop or crush using a pestle and mortar. Whisk the mustard with the vinegar and sherry, then slowly pour in the oil, whisking all the time. Season and set aside.
• Boil the carrots for 3-4 mins or until just tender, drain and tip back into the pan. Pour over the dressing, stir to coat, cook over a low heat for 1-2 mins, then tip into a serving dish. Scatter over the hazelnuts and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients well, using your fingers to toss and coat the carrots thoroughly. Transfer to a travel container or serving dish. As the salad sits, the raisins will plump a bit and carrots will take on citrus taste.

Steps:

• Mix salad and dress with vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel the carrots and grate them in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment. If you lay the carrots on their sides in the feed tube, you will have nice long grated strands. Place the grated carrots in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, pineapple, raisins, salt, and pepper. Toss well and season to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, combine the carrots, raisins, nuts and mayonnaise. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the nuts out on a metal baking pan or a large sheet pan with ridges.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are very hot and fragrant.
• Carefully dump nuts into a dish towel which you've spread across the counter - a ridged dish towel or one with some sort of embroidery works well because it provides more friction.
• Bring the ends of the dish towel up around the still-hot hazelnuts and wrap them up like a present.
• Using your hands, rub them between the towel and the work surface so that the friction created by the rubbing loosens the skin.
• Discard the skins and enjoy the toasted hazelnuts whole or crush them for your favorite recipe.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until they smell toasty and they a're golden all the way through (cut one in half to check). Remove from the oven and turn up the heat to 425 degrees.
• Immediately wrap the hazelnuts in a clean, dry dish towel. Rub them in the towel to remove the skins. Then place the skinned hazelnuts in a plastic bag or, if you have one, a disposable pastry bag and set on your work table in one layer. Use a rolling pin to crush the nuts by rolling over them with the pin. Set aside.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment or oil a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. If the carrots are small, just peel and trim the tops and bottoms. If they are medium- sized, peel, cut in half and cut into 4-inch lengths. Quarter large carrots and cut into 4-inch lengths. Trim the root ends and greens from the spring onions or scallions. If they are bulbous, cut them in half. Season with salt and pepper, add the thyme and olive oil and toss well, either directly on the pan or in the dish or in a bowl. Spread in an even layer in the baking dish or on the baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. The onions may be done after 10 minutes - they should be soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan if they are and hold on a plate. When the carrots and onions are tender and browned in places, remove from the oven. Add the onions back into the mix if you 've removed them and toss together. Sprinkle on the toasted ground hazelnuts, and drizzle on the optional nut oil, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add pineapple, raisins, mayonnaise, honey and orange zest (if using). Mix until combined.
• Add carrots to dressing and fold together all the ingredients using a rubber spatula or tongs.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then serve chilled.
