Title: Chestnuts
Post by: charby on December 22, 2017, 10:53:28 AM

Roasted up a 1/3 pound last night, so tasty.

Make sure you cut the hulls or they go pop.

450 oven for about 12 minutes, remove and wrap in a towel in a bowl to keep them warm. Peal and eat.

Such a good buttery nutty sweet flavor.

SIL (the British one, not the trailer park queen) makes a dish with sage sausage and chestnuts.  Delish.  She has a tool, like pliers that cuts an X into the raw chestnut so that it won't pop, and it's also fairly easy to peel after roasting.  Good stuff.

I would have to ask her to retrieve it. She has archived hundreds of recipes and keeps meticulous records with her comments and variations on everything she has ever cooked.
