Instructions

Hey Hazelnuts
1

a) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Roughly crush the hazelnuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

c) Heat a medium frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the hazelnuts and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

d) Once toasted, remove from the pan to a bowl and set aside. Keep the pan for the next step.

Bring on the Bacon
2

a) Return your (now empty) frying pan to medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the bacon lardons. Stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

c) Once cooked, add the lardons to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Keep the pan for the next step.

Finish and Serve
3

a) Pop the (now empty) frying pan back on high heat and add another drizzle of oil. TIP: Discard any tough stalks from the cavolo nero.

b) Once hot, add the cavolo nero and a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil until wilted, 3-4 mins. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

c) Once the cavolo nero is cooked, add the bacon and hazelnuts to the pan. Mix together, then transfer to a serving dish to finish.

Enjoy!
