A type of hard-shelled nut with an oval or round kernel, also known as a filbert. Hazelnuts are high in dietary fibre. Turkey is a major supplier of hazelnuts, along with Spain and Italy, but they do grow wild in the hedgerows around Britain.Cobnuts, which grow in Britain, are a type of hazelnut. You may be able to buy fresh nuts, particularly native cobnuts, still in their husks, but most are sold dried and processed. Use hazelnuts whole, grated or ground to flavour savoury and sweet dishes.Finely ground they can be used in place of flour to make a ' torte' , or roughly chopped they add crunch to biscuits or meringues. Use them as the basis for a stuffing or simply chop them up with some dried fruits and scatter the mixture on your cereal.Some recipes might call for ' skinned hazelnuts' . If so, just roast them in the oven for a few minutes; when they' ve cooled slightly, rub the skins off with your fingers. Hazelnuts have an affinity with chocolate - as in hazelnut and chocolate torte, for example, or hazelnut and chocolate spread.In Turkey, a sauce to serve with shellfish is made from garlic and hazelnuts. Frangelico is a hazelnut liqueur from northern Italy. Hazelnut oil is delicate in flavour and makes a change from olive oil in a salad dressing.Hazelnut cakeMustard and hazelnut-coated lamb with dauphinoise potatoes
