Yield Makes 1 to 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 to 2 pounds fresh large chestnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a sharp paring knife or a chestnut knife, score each chestnut; either make an "x" on one side of nut, or make one long slit crosswise. Place chestnuts in a single layer on a baking pan, and bake until flesh is tender and golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a clean kitchen towel, immediately peel shells. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 1 week.

GLAZED CHESTNUTS

Boiling is the easiest way to shell chestnuts, though it's still a pain. Frozen, pre-peeled chestnuts are a good alternative. Other vegetables you can prepare this way: see Glazed Turnips (page 496).

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound chestnuts
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut a ring around each chestnut, then place them in boiling salted water to cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove them from the water, a few at a time, and peel (both outer shell and inner skin) while still hot.
  • Put the butter in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the chestnuts, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chestnuts are quite tender, about 30 minutes, adding a little more water if necessary. When the chestnuts are ready, uncover and boil away any excess water, leaving the chestnuts glazed with the butter. Serve hot.

GLAZED ROASTED CHESTNUTS

Yes! Hot roasted chestnuts need only a touch of salt. But once cooled this is the way to reheat them adding more sweet nutty flavor. To roast chestnut check out Recipe #108746 or buy jarred shelled chestnuts. If you make a lot you can chop them and add to a stuffing/ dressing, soup or use in a dessert.
