Ingredients
hazelnut gremolata
- ½ cup hazelnuts
- ½ cup fresh flat parsley, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 orange, zest freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- pinch of salt
- pinch of fresh grated pepper
pumpkin soup
- 3 tablespoons Chopped hazelnuts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ¼ cup Creme Fraiche
- cream for drizzling, if desired
Instructions
hazelnut gremolata
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts (I also include the 3 tablespoons from the soup) on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice during cook time.
- Once the nuts have roasted, place them in a kitchen towel. Wrap them up in the towel and gently shake the towel back and forth, using your hands to rub the hazelnuts together a bit, removing all the skins. You want to remove as many as you can!
- Coarsely chop the hazelnuts into they are in small pieces. Set aside 3 tablespoons for the soup.
- Stir together the remaining hazelnuts, parsley, minced garlic, orange zest, salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. This can be stored in the fridge for a few days!
pumpkin soup
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the butter. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until the butter starts to brown. Stir in the onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in the crushed red pepper and chopped hazelnuts. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onions soften.
- Stir in pumpkin puree, lemon juice, stock and fresh grated nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender!) and blend until smooth. Pour the soup back into the pot and heat over low heat.
- Stir in the creme fraiche. Taste and season the soup with more salt and pepper if needed. Once the soup warms back up, serve with a drizzle of cream or half and half. Top with a few spoonfuls of the hazelnut gremolata!
