I bought chestnuts! What shall I do with them?

[payperview]

I'm a chestnut virgin!

[NotScrewingUpNow]

You could roast them on an open fire???

[flyingdragonzog]

Toast them

[Finfintytint]

Ha! You got there first Notscrewingup.

[payperview]

But then what? Is there anything you can put on them? Sugar, salt, spice, something else? Is that all you do, roast them?

[tinseltitsbumfannythelot]

Soup or put them in your Brussel sprouts with pancetta

[BentNeckLady]

I put mine in my log burner for ten minutes in an old tin. They taste amazing!

[fuzzywuzzy]

Roast them, then peel them and eat them. I love chestnuts

[flyingdragonzog]

Just cut an X in them before roasting so they don't explode

[redsummershoes]

are they in shells or not?

but anyeay, shallow fried in duck fat or butter with brussel prouts and a pinch of cinnamon is yum.

they are starchy and sweet, a bit like potato but sweeter.

[AdaColeman]

Add them to a mushroom and beef or venison casserole.

Put some in a tray of winter vegetables to roast.

[AdaColeman]

Make a chestnut & prune stuffing, especially good with pork.

Add to pheasant with sultanas, dried figs and Madeira.

Yep. My folks didn't do this when I was little. One shot straight through the oven door. New stove needed right before Christmas.

[piebald]

Post them to me , I haven’t got any

[cloudtree]

chop them and pan fry them with sprout leaves and pancetta
