If you had a mystery ingredient and it happened to Hazelnuts...
What would you make for an appetizer?

You have access to all ingredients you may need..

Good luck

Georges Perrier of Le Bec Fin has a recipe for escargot with hazelnut champagne butter.

Kimmie and Iza - I would be perfectly happy to eat gelato or cake for an appetizer. Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.

Love the hazelnuts. Love the ideas I see here. No ideas to share, though.

Can anyone become dyslexic? I guess hazelnuts are not my strong suit!

Yum.

Cape Chef - love your recipe, can't wait to try it.

In France we cooked some hazelnut encrusted shrimp with a delicious white-wine sauce - yummy.

 

[kimmie]

I guess I should have mentioned that too CC. Your recipe is most appealing to me. Thanks for sharing.

I've successfully used hazelnuts as a substitute for a regular flour panade. Here's an idea for a hazelnut forcemeat stuffed chicken breast.

1) Remove legs and wing sections from a chicken leaving both sections of breast on the chicken.

2) Prepare the forcemeat with meat from the thighs and finely ground hazelnuts.

3) Cut a pocket in the breastmeat and stuff the breast with the forcemeat.

4) Roast till done Serve with your choice of garnishes.
