I recently came into possession of some lovely hazelnuts.
This is my favorite nut... bar none.
So I processed a bit of bread (yes, homemade, so sue me)...
With a handful of nuts...
And used this to bread the pounded chicken breasts to make schnitzel...

And then sautéed them.
For a sauce, I processed another handful of hazelnuts with 5-6 chopped sage leaves, sautéed the mixture in a bit of butter, deglazed the pan with white wine, added a bit of chicken broth and salt/pepper. When the schnitzels were done, I removed them from the pan and tossed the sauce in to deglaze THAT pan...
Tasted for S & P... pan-roasted some corn... mashed some potatoes, sprinkled them with chopped chives...
Heaven on A Plate.
