chestnuts

 

Put the chestnuts in a big bowl of water and discard any that float. The nuts

that float have air spaces and are not full of meat.

 

Heat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the chestnuts completely around the middle,

through the outer and inner skin. Place on a cookie sheet with sides or in a

roasting pan and sprinkle with water.

 

Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through. Peel when just cool enough to

handle.

 

They really taste best when right out of the oven, so don't make more than you

can eat.

NOTES : Q: I've looked everywhere and I can't find directions for preparing,

roasting, and peeling chestnuts. -- Rex Davis

A: I'm not surprised. I have over 700 cookbooks but wasn't able to find a recipe

for roasting chestnuts like the ones I've had in New York's Rockefeller Center

while looking at the big Christmas tree. After calling several chefs and getting

advice, I decided to test a method myself. Here's what I came up with.--Fraya
