Roasted Chestnuts

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Boil the chestnuts for 5 to 7 minutes and then wipe them dry.

  2. Cut a small slit in the rind of each chestnut.

  3. Roast the chestnuts in a coffee roaster or in a Dutch oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Serve the chestnuts hot in a napkin and provide coarse sea salt on the side.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
