Yield: ½ cup
Slivered blanched nuts are available in the market, however, they are produced by machines. If you have any spare time, utilize it to your advantage. In comparison to the mechanical ones, you will receive far nicer and thinner shreds from this activity, which is wonderful for hand-eye coordination.
- Start with 1 cup of blanched nuts, such as pistachios or almonds.
- With your dominant hand holding a paring knife, place each nut between your thumb and fingers of the opposite hand.
- Use a sharp paring knife to gently scrape the surface longitudinally in little top-to-bottom motions.
- Frail shavings or slivers will fall from the nut as you do this.
