Hazelnut oil

Rounder and sweeter than walnut oil, and it forgives more. Still dead in three months, so buy small.

12 pairings for Hazelnut oil.

Beurre noisette is named after the nut. Same pyrazines, one with milk solids.

Chicory

common

Praline sweetness is the cheapest way to make a bitter leaf edible raw.

Pear

common

Ester fruit and toasted fat: the nut supplies the structure the pear lacks.

Apple

common

Malic acid cuts, roasted fat carries. Neither one works here alone.

Oxidised nut against oxidised wine. One vinaigrette, no mustard needed.

Carrot

uncommon

Roast the root until it browns, then dress. Two Maillards, poured together.

Scallop

uncommon

Sear, rest, spoon it over cold. Shellfish sugar reads as praline.

Cauliflower

uncommon

Brassica sulphur turns sweet under toasted fat. Roast hard, dress after.

Gianduja logic minus the sugar: praline pyrazines over bitter cocoa.

Coffee

rare

Same roast family, different bean. Float it on an espresso and stir once.

Both hold an ionone violet note. Dress the fruit and leave the cream out.
