I'm making giandua gelato tonight. The recipe calls for whole hazelnuts which you roast 20 mins until the skins crack then you rub with a towel to get the skins off. Then you grind in a food processor, steep the hazelnuts in milk and strain. All they had at the store was chopped hazelnuts, they've been in the oven for over 30 mins and I can't get the skins to come off.
My question is, if I just skip getting the skins off, will leaving the skins on do anything to effect the flavor of my gelato? Everything is going to be strained anyway. I don't want to end up burning my hazelnuts, I keep putting them back in the oven thinking maybe they need more time to get the skins to loosen.
Thanks in advance!
