Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...



...or in a 450 degree oven!  Use a heavy serrated knife to make a small cross cut on the rounded tops (just press down, don't try to slice).  Boil them in red wine for 10 minutes (optional) and then pop them into the oven on a cookie sheet for 30 to 40 minutes.  Serve in a dish towel!

  1. Cyndi, I've actually never had chestnuts. Do they remind you of walnuts in flavor?

  2. No, not at all...they're very sweet and starchy with a real umami kick rather than the slight bitterness of walnuts.
