Boil:
Allow the nuts to boil for 5–10 minutes, depending on the type of nut and desired softness.
Almonds, for example, boil in about 5 minutes, while walnuts may take closer to 10.
Drain and Rinse:
Use a strainer to drain the nuts and rinse them under cold water to cool.
Peel (Optional):
For almonds, boiling loosens the skin, making it easy to slip off.
Ways to Use Boiled Nuts
Blended into Sauces:
Boiled cashews or almonds make creamy bases for vegan cheese or curry sauces.
Baking and Desserts:
Use boiled nuts in cakes, muffins, or energy balls for a softer texture.
Nut Milk:
Boiled nuts are easier to blend into homemade almond, cashew, or walnut milk.
Snacking:
Season boiled nuts with spices or a touch of honey for a soft, flavorful snack.
Garnishing:
Sprinkle softened nuts on salads, soups, or rice dishes for a mild, nutty accent.
Tips and Tricks
Flavor Boost: Add spices or herbs to the boiling water for infused flavors.
Storage: Boiled nuts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Experiment: Try different nuts and adjust the boiling time to achieve your preferred softness.
