How to make walnuts tastier?

You say: “But we can buy already roasted nuts, why all this fuss?!” Firstly, pre-roasted nuts are more expensive, about 25%. Secondly, the taste of store-bought roasted nuts is usually muted and you often find burnt or rancid nuts.

For testing, Natalya used an induction cooker and walnuts. Why them? Smaller, lighter nuts such as pistachios or pine nuts will toast faster than larger, denser ones such as almonds, pecans and hazelnuts. Walnuts are approximately in the middle in terms of density, which is why they were chosen - for the purity of the experiment.

Preparing the nuts

Before roasting nuts, they must be washed, especially if they were purchased at the market. In this case, it is necessary to wash both the nuts in the shell and the peeled kernels.

This is required for several reasons:

The nuts were on the street; they were simply exposed to particles of dirt and dust, even if this was not visible to the naked eye. Moreover, they may contain harmful bacteria, parasite larvae, and pathogens that came from people who were near them.
To increase shelf life, as well as to protect against harmful insects, nuts could be treated with toxic pesticides.

That is, the nuts must be washed. And preferably even those that were bought packaged in a supermarket. Salted or fried, of course, do not need to be washed.

If there is a small amount of nuts, you can simply pour them into a colander and hold them under running water for a while. If there are a lot of them, you can put them in a deep container, soak them in water and rinse thoroughly. Then pour out the dirty water, add new water, rinse again, drain, then wipe off moisture.

If the shell is not only covered in dust, but also contains pieces of dirt, you can use a dish sponge. It is best to additionally douse nuts purchased at the market with boiling water, this will get rid of germs.

If the kernels have a chemical taste, they should be kept in hot water for 30 minutes, this will soften the kernels, allowing the chemicals to come out. Then pour out the water and rinse again with clean water. The unpleasant taste will disappear.

Can you cook peanuts in the microwave?

From a scientific point of view, peanuts are not classified as nuts. This is a plant from the legume family. Its fruits are very similar to nuts, they are sometimes even called groundnuts or Chinese nuts. The protein content in peanuts is twice as high as in meat, and the fats included in its composition are good for health. They can easily relieve hunger. But those who are trying to lose weight should not forget about the high calorie content of the product, and the high salt content has a bad effect on the health of any person. In addition, store-bought nuts often contain trans fats. It is much safer to purchase raw peanuts and roast them yourself. Moreover, doing this in the microwave is not so difficult.

Most often, a microwave is used to heat prepared food. Less often, in fact, anything is cooked in it. Traditionally, the frying process involves the use of oil. However, peanuts do not need additional fat; they can be roasted in a dry container. The fats contained in the nut will not allow it to dry out; they will fry the fruit from the inside. The problem is different: microwave radiation penetrates food unevenly, and there is a danger of getting peanuts that are hard on top, but soft, “boiled” inside. That is, you won’t get tasty crispy nuts. This can be prevented by using the right cookware: a flat container with high sides and a tight lid with a hole for steam to escape.

Why roast peanuts:

the taste, smell and color of nuts become brighter, richer, and a pleasant crunch appears;
heat treatment is guaranteed to kill all bacteria, and dirt is washed off under running water before frying;
the husks are easier to remove from roasted peanuts;
flavoring additives (salt, sugar, honey) “stick” to the oil and are evenly distributed throughout all the fruits.

High temperature changes the structure and chemical composition of peanuts. However, the beneficial substances of the nuts are practically not lost. The amount of protein and carbohydrates remains unchanged. In terms of one gram, the amount of fat increases slightly due to moisture loss during frying, that is, the calorie content of fried peanuts is higher than that of raw peanuts (slightly less than 600 calories per 100 g).

The easiest way

Place the washed and peeled nuts on a flat dish or other container suitable for the microwave. The peanuts should cover the dish in one layer. Set the microwave oven to maximum mode (but not higher than 150 °C). At the beginning of processing, the fruits will warm up and dry out, so you can remove the container from the oven for the first time after one and a half to two minutes. Then, as the nuts begin to roast, the intervals become shorter. Every 20-30 seconds it is necessary to remove the container from the oven and stir. It will take at least 3-4 roasting cycles.

It is impossible to indicate the exact cooking time. The duration of the process will be affected by humidity, the number and size of nuts, as well as the power of the microwave. You will have to determine the mode and time by trial and error. The first experiments may be unsuccessful, so it is advisable to first take a small amount of fruit and do not forget to note the cooking time. The degree of readiness can be easily determined by the taste of the fruit. To do this, just remove a couple of nuts from the container, let them cool and try. You shouldn’t focus on color - even beautifully ruddy peanuts on the outside may turn out to be slightly damp on the inside.

Roasted nuts with salt

To obtain salted peanuts, simply sprinkle them with salt before processing. If the nuts are dry, they need to be sprinkled with a little water. Nuts that are wet after washing will retain salt well. However, there is a danger that the salt crystals will not dissolve completely and will grind on the teeth. The cooking time for salt-fried peanuts largely depends on the characteristics of the microwave, the quality and size of the fruits themselves.

An alternative option is to soak the previously peeled fruits in a salty solution for a couple of minutes. To do this, you need to pour the peanuts into a deep container, add salt and pour boiling water so that the water completely covers the fruits. But only bedspreads! Do not pour too much of it, this will make the solution weaker and the taste will not be rich. Then drain the brine and dry the fruits with a paper towel. After that, they can be sent to the microwave.

To fry one serving (about 200 g) of peanuts, you need 5 to 10 g of salt. This is approximately an incomplete teaspoon (the salt border is below the edge of the spoon) or a heaped spoon. It is recommended to choose coarse salt, but this is not important. You can use sea salt or any other variety. Also, to give the appetizer more piquancy, sometimes hot or allspice ground pepper is added during the last stirring.

Are walnuts roasted?

For many lovers of a healthy lifestyle, it may show that the idea of frying nuts is not the best and correct from a dietary standpoint. However, experts in the field of nutrition say that roasted walnuts are no less healthy than raw ones and they should be present in equal proportions in the diet of an ordinary person.

In terms of gastronomic qualities, roasted nuts look much more preferable. It does not lose its benefits, all vitamins, micro- and macroelements are retained in it, but at the same time the taste and nutty aroma become more intense and awaken the appetite. After heat treatment, the nuts acquire a special taste, while they perfectly saturate and reveal familiar familiar dishes from a different perspective.

Doctors believe that nuts, roasted in any way, have a positive effect on visual acuity, the nervous and genitourinary systems, and even help get rid of headaches and insomnia. It is believed that walnuts can have a depressing effect on the development of cancer cells, thereby preventing fatal pathologies.

The daily norm for a person is 30 grams. In such quantities it will only bring benefits and cannot harm, even to people with excess body weight.

Dry roasting vs oil roasting

There are two main ways to roast nuts in the oven - dry or with the addition of a small amount of oil. Roasting nuts with oil is a good way to add flavor. You can use a neutral oil, such as grapeseed oil, or match the oil to the nut, such as almond oil or walnut oil. Various spices can also be added to the oil to flavor nuts. Roasted nuts in oil are great for adding to salads or for garnishing.

Dry roast the nuts if you are going to use them in baking recipes because too much fat can ruin the recipe.

Is it possible to fry

Roasted nuts have a fattier texture than raw nuts, and they also taste crunchier. It is preferable to use peeled fruits due to the fact that the shells are quite difficult to remove, however, if you leave them, the product will retain a more natural and pronounced nutty aroma. Roasted walnut kernels are included in the recipes of some dishes, halva, sweets, cakes and other desserts.

Did you know? Walnuts can replace meat for vegetarians due to easier digestion of protein, which cannot be said about legumes.

How to check readiness

The first clue should be the smell: most nuts begin to smell when heated for a few minutes. Usually by the time you smell it they are almost done.

When opening or slicing a perfectly toasted nut, the inside should not be completely browned. The thin golden layer around the edges and radiating from the outside is enough to properly enhance the flavor and texture of the nut. If you want to go further, continue to cook carefully and remember that the more toasted the nut, the more its flavor will dominate the dish, and the more brittle it will become.

Some nuts have additional indicators. For example, hazelnuts will begin to separate their skins as they toast, or they will be easier to rub off with your fingers.

How to store and use roasted nuts

Once you've toasted the nuts - this is important - immediately transfer them to a cool heatproof bowl or container. If you leave them in a hot pan, they may continue to cook and burn. In most cases, you'll need to cool them completely before using them in a dish to allow the fats to solidify again, giving the nuts a nice crunch back. This happens quickly, but if you're short on time, spread them out in a single layer on a cool surface to speed up the process.

If you do not plan to use the roasted nuts immediately, transfer them completely cooled to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Preparing Walnuts for Roasting

The task does not seem too difficult, but in reality, not everyone knows how to fry nuts and properly prepare them for this process. In the meantime, you should take preparation seriously, otherwise there is a chance of hopelessly ruining a valuable product.

We decide on the cooking method. If the task is to cook nuts in the shell, then they need to be inspected for chips (a nut that has been left in a split state for a long time can go rancid, so it is better not to eat it) and rinsed under running water.

If roasted walnuts must be prepared without the shell, then the whole fruits must be peeled (to make it easier, you can put them in the freezer for 40-60 minutes). Be sure to separate hard partitions. If they were purchased in shelled form, they must be examined for signs of mold, and then tasted to see if there is a bitter taste. The peeled kernels are broken into quarters and placed in boiling water for 2 - 7 minutes, then laid out on a towel with a hard base and rubbed vigorously with palms. The dark skin will quickly come off, and the product will be fully prepared for heat treatment.

Uses of roasted hazelnuts

For a long time, culinary specialists in many countries have taken full advantage of the taste qualities of roasted hazelnuts. And this is not surprising, since such a product has a velvety soft taste that perfectly complements both main dishes and desserts.

Roasted hazelnut kernels are used in the production of various types of sweets: chocolate, chocolate spread, pastries, oriental desserts (kozinaki, halva, etc.). The crushed raw materials are used to make a paste, which is then used to prepare curd or cheese dishes and all kinds of snacks. Ground roasted hazelnuts highlight poultry meat well if you add it, for example, to a marinade or stuffing. Gravy, sauces based on cream or milk, seasoned with crushed roasted nuts, salads, mushroom dishes, etc. are very tasty.

Heat-treated hazelnuts are also used in folk medicine as part of remedies for anemia, in the care of problem skin of the face and hands.

The technology for heat treatment of hazel is quite simple and can be done even at home. The kernels are fried both in the shell and without it. In the latter case, the raw materials must be pre-prepared.

Nut Roasting Basics

Start with fresh, raw, whole nuts. Even if you want chopped nuts, roast them whole if possible. Incorrectly sized pieces will cook unevenly and are more prone to burning. Burnt nuts are unpleasantly bitter, and adding charred bits can ruin the whole batch. The exception is sliced almonds, which are usually uniform in size. They toast faster than whole nuts, so keep a close eye on them.

Lastly, when in doubt, stick to low and slow heat. Impatience is to blame for a lot of burnt nuts, so keep your heat source low, whether it's the oven or stovetop.

— Price

shelled walnuts - about 1000 rubles per kilogram (average cost for June 2021 in Moscow).

— Roasted walnuts can be eaten

as an independent dish or snack, as they are very filling; add to salads, pasta, soups, roasts, baked goods, yogurt, ice cream.

— Before frying nuts, you need to wash

, since nuts more often withstand spartan transportation conditions that are not compatible with purity. This applies to both shelled and inshell nuts. The washed nuts should be air dried before frying. Break the dried, peeled nuts into halves or quarters to ensure even toasting. Using a serrated knife, cut a small “x” on one side of the inshell nuts. This will make it easier to remove the shells after frying.

- To fry large quantities

walnuts, you should use the oven: pour the nuts onto a baking sheet and roast at 120 degrees for 10 minutes.

How and how long to fry?

There are two main ways to properly toast hazelnuts:

Dry roast: no oil. Nuts can be dried in the oven or in a frying pan.
Frying using oil. Nuts can also be fried in oil in the oven or in a frying pan.

In addition to these two methods, nuts can be roasted in the microwave.

Purified

To obtain a tasty delicacy, it is important to fry it correctly and follow the technology. It varies depending on how you fry it.

Before heat treatment, it is recommended to peel the hazelnuts.

This technology is preferable, as moldy and spoiled nuts can be detected and removed from the total mass.

For frying it is used:

thick-walled frying pan;
oven (electric or gas);
microwave.

If you plan to roast without the shell, then the nut must be prepared:

Remove the peel, and with it, the brown skin on the surface of the kernel;
Heat water to boiling;
Turn off the burner and transfer the kernels to boiling water;
Keep them in water for 7-10 minutes. You should not cook the kernels, as they lose many useful substances;
Drain the water using a colander and dry the kernels on a towel;
Remove the thin film.

Next, the nuts are roasted using one of the selected methods.

In a frying pan

The peeled nut kernels are laid out in a dry, well-heated frying pan.

It is important to note that the dishes must have a thick bottom to ensure even heating and prevent burning.

At the first stage, the fire under the frying pan should be low. The kernels must be stirred regularly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Roasting time – until a specific nutty smell and golden color appear on the surface of the kernels (about 7-8 minutes). At this point, you need to increase the heat to maximum and, stirring constantly, bring the hazelnuts to readiness within 1-2 minutes. Total cooking time is 10 minutes.

In the oven

The preparation procedure is simple and does not require effort.
The shelled nuts should be laid out in an even layer on a baking sheet and placed in a preheated oven. Cooking temperature – 250 degrees. Frying time – 15 minutes. During this period, the baking sheet must be removed several times and the kernels must be thoroughly mixed. This way, the nuts will be roasted more evenly, without burnt sides.

In the microwave

Cooking in the microwave is not much different from cooking in the oven. The kernels are laid out in a thin layer on a plate or suitable dish and placed in the microwave. The device turns on at maximum power. Unlike the oven, the frying time is slightly shorter, up to 10 minutes. The nuts must be mixed several times. The peculiarity of this method is the lack of roasted taste in hazelnuts, while maintaining a crunchy texture.

In a shell

Frying in the shell is faster. There is no need to waste time cleaning, scalding and drying the kernels. All three methods are also suitable for this preparation.

The hazelnuts must be sorted and damaged kernels removed. Then pour into a well-heated, dry frying pan. Frying occurs according to the peeled principle: low heat until the smell and golden color appear, then at maximum heat for a couple of minutes. Pour the finished nuts onto a towel and, covering the top, rub them against each other. The shell becomes brittle and easily comes away from the kernel.

The method is suitable for a large volume of product that does not fit either in a frying pan or in a microwave. Place the hazelnuts in a thin layer on a baking sheet and place in the oven preheated to 250 degrees. Stirring, fry for 10-15 minutes.

You can fry no more than 200-300 grams of nuts at a time. The cooking temperature is the same as for the purified product. Preparation takes place in 3 stages:

Heat for 3-5 minutes and remove the nuts;
Cool for a few minutes and microwave again;
Fry for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

Cooking methods

Walnut has gained popularity due to its specific taste and many beneficial properties. If you fry nuts correctly, you will get a product with a pronounced taste and a pleasant aroma. There are several cooking options: in a frying pan, in the microwave, in the oven.

In the oven

To roast unshelled nuts, you must follow these steps:

First you need to preheat the oven to 220°C.
Carefully place the parchment paper.
Spread the nuts evenly on top.
Leave in the oven for about 15 minutes.
After this time is over, stir.
Fry for another 20 minutes until a characteristic aroma appears.
Pour the finished product into a deep container and let cool.

Attention! It is imperative to stir the nuts during the frying process, so the degree of roasting will be the same.

Cooking shelled nuts in the oven:

Heat the oven to 200°C.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Peel the kernels from the shell, break them into several parts.
Place the pieces evenly on a baking sheet.
It is necessary to cook until the crust turns brown. The roasting process takes approximately 15 minutes.
The readiness of the product can be determined by its characteristic aroma.
Remove the nuts from the oven, let cool, you can eat them or use them to prepare different dishes.

On the stove

You can also fry nuts in a frying pan. To do this you need to do the following:

Set the cast-iron frying pan over low heat and let it warm up for a few minutes - without adding oil, since the kernels contain a lot of their own fat.
Break all the shelled kernels in half, this way they will fry better (you can put them in a bag and crush them with a small hammer).
Sprinkle the nuts into the pan, preferably in one even layer.
You need to fry for no more than 5 minutes, stirring constantly, so the kernels are fried on all sides. Ready nuts should have a brownish tint.
Remove the pan from the stove and immediately transfer the nuts to a deep container, otherwise they will continue to fry on the hot surface.

Microwave

You can roast nuts in the microwave; they cook much faster and cook evenly. It is only important not to leave them in the oven for too long and follow the following instructions:

The shelled kernels should be poured into a glass container. To do this, you can choose any container that is marked as safe for use in a microwave oven.
To ensure even roasting, the kernels should completely cover the bottom of the plate.
The oven power should be at maximum, and the cooking time should be 50-60 seconds.
At the end of this time, it is necessary to determine the degree of readiness. If necessary, the procedure is repeated.

The main feature of frying in a microwave oven is that the kernels do not have a brown color, but only a pleasant specific smell.

General recommendations:

if the microwave is very powerful, then it is better to fry the nuts until tender at intervals of 15 seconds;
nut kernels that are cooked in a frying pan can be sprinkled with spices or poured with sweet syrup;
if roasted nuts do not need to be used immediately, then they should be stored in a cardboard box and a cool room, for example, in a pantry;
You can fry the kernels in oil. Afterwards they are transferred to paper napkins and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Almond

This nut is called royal. Roasted almonds have an even yellowish color. Many people love it as a sweet dessert. To make sweet almonds you will need:

almond,
sugar,
cinnamon,
salt,
water.

Pour 3 tablespoons of water into a frying pan, add salt, sugar and cinnamon, mix thoroughly. How many ingredients to add depends on taste preferences. Keep on low heat for about 6 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then add the almonds and cook for about another 6-7 minutes. The nuts are allowed to cool, and then you can try.

You can fry without sugar. To do this, pour a thin layer of almonds into a frying pan and fry for about 12-15 minutes. The nuts are periodically stirred and tasted. Then they are poured into a wide plate and allowed to cool.

Don't eat nuts too often. If you know when to stop, you can not only enjoy your favorite delicacy, but also saturate your body with useful vitamins and microelements. When asked whether to fry nuts, nutritionists answer that it is possible and even necessary to do so.

The beneficial properties of walnuts are that their chemical composition changes depending on the ripening of the fruit. Nuts can be stored for a long time without losing their beneficial properties. They are rich in iodine, useful for strengthening the liver, also normalizes gastrointestinal secretion, and even gets rid of worms. Today I want to offer you a way to prepare an amazingly tasty and healthy dessert from walnuts in Chinese.

But it is not the main beneficial component of delicious nuts, but organic acids and vitamins of group E. It also contains a lot of magnesium, zinc, and sodium. This product is very high in calories: 100 g of hazelnut kernels contains about 700 kcal.

People who have been seriously ill are recommended to consume hazelnuts in order to strengthen their exhausted body. The elements potassium and calcium are “building materials” for strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

Breastfeeding mothers love hazelnuts very much, and for good reason, because they stimulate lactation and add fat to the baby’s first food.
