Hazel Nuts in a Stir-Fry

We have a local Hazel Tree which is not the victim of the Squirrels. It’s actually just within the grounds of a student accommodation enclosure. It’s on a bank so the nuts roll towards the footpath and the students, seemingly, have no idea what a Hazel Nut is unless it’s covered in chocolate.

So at this time of year it’s a win-win for us. We’ve tried a few bits and bobs with them. ( They are here ) This recipe worked really well. The lightly toasted Nuts take on the flavours of the Garlic and Ginger, while still having their characteristic sweetness.

If you’re awash with Hazel Nuts and are willing to spend a bit of time toasting and bashing them, this is well worth the effort!

Super-Slaw recipe

We do on occasions buy Coleslaw but Sue more often that not makes her own. Provided you have Onions and Mayonnaise the other ingredients are arbitrary really. We’ve had Broccoli stems, Swede, you name it really - in various Coleslaws. This version was very colourful and notably tasty due to a (Not to long to be) Secret ingredient….

Ingredients:-

Carrots, finely batoned
Onions, finely sliced
Red Cabbage, finely sliced
Mayonnaise
Black Lime, crushed
Lemon juice

The Black Lime and Lemon juice added a really good citrus kick. You can get Black Limes from various Continental shops, they are really inexpensive, last for ever it seems and are handy to add a citrus flavour to all sorts of dishes.
