Boiled Chestnuts Veg HT CD ACC 35mins
Hot Cold Vegan Vegetarian Accompaniment Gluten Wheat Dairy Free Eggless
Ingredients Whole Raw Chestnuts Water
Instructions
1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
2. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, either cut the chestnuts in half or cut a gash all the way through the skin (about 2.5cm/1 inch long).
3. Add the prepared chestnuts to the pan and cook for about 20 minutes or until tender.
4. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl of iced water . This helps release the shell and skin from the nut itself. After a few minutes, remove the shell with a knife and peel off all traces of the skin before eating or using in recipes.
Especially nice to add to stuffings at Christmas as it goes well with all types of poultry.
