0:06

Oh,

Speaker 2

0:06

that's the memory I remember.

Speaker 1

0:07

So now that it's getting a little brown, these are toasted hazelnuts.

0:10

And I uh I put these in uh in the oven just for 15 minutes.

0:15

You don't want to go too long.

0:16

Okay.

Speaker 2

0:17

So

Speaker 1

0:17

I'm just gonna give these a little stir.

0:18

Now, because this is hot butter, I'm not tossing it up.

Speaker 2

0:21

I was gonna say I want you to toss it, but no, I get safety first.

0:26

The money maker, you know.

0:29

That's why I love having you here.

Speaker 1

0:31

It's

Speaker 2

0:31

so

Speaker 1

0:31

much fun.

0:32

And people should have this much fun in the kitchen.

0:34

Always.

0:34

Cooking should be fun.

Speaker 2

0:35

I mean, it people get so stressed out.

0:37

I'm like, just have fun.

Speaker 1

0:39

No, don't worry about that.

Speaker 2

0:40

Wine or ginger ale or whatever you drink.

0:41

Melk, just have fun.

Speaker 1

0:43

You know, sometimes when I'm prepping, I will get um a big like uh portion cup, and I'll fill it with ice and a little white wine and ginger ale, and it's not really drinking, you know, because it's a spritzer.

0:52

No,

Speaker 2

0:52

no, it's a spritzer.

0:53

I was thinking wine orange route, but we can add them together.

0:56

That's a whole other show.

0:57

Drink.

Speaker 1

0:57

So now that it's starting to get brown and it's foaming up and everything, I'm gonna add water, and that's because I'm stopping the cooking.

1:03

This pan's hot, the butter's hot, it could easily burn.

1:06

That's one of those things too, with brown butter.

1:08

It can go quick.

1:09

Like you're waiting for it, you're waiting for it, and then all of a sudden it's gonna go.

1:12

So

Speaker 2

1:12

that's gonna foam up.

Speaker 1

1:17

Because we want to cool it off.

1:18

I'm actually gonna turn off the heat.

Unassigned speaker

1:20

Oh

Speaker 1

1:21

my gosh.

Speaker 2

1:21

It smells so good.

1:22

And lemon.

1:23

Little

Speaker 1

1:23

squeeze

Speaker 2

1:24

of

Speaker 1

1:24

lemon.

1:24

Well, because think of this almost like a vinaigrette.

1:26

You know, you have a lot of fat right here, you need a little acid to cut through all that fat.

Unassigned speaker

1:31

Oh.

Speaker 1

1:32

And you see how many, like I it looks like a lot of hazelnuts, because

Speaker 2

1:34

it is a lot of hazelnuts.

1:36

Well, you know, we only have a few ingredients.
