DOWNLOAD RECIPE

A fundamental base of traditional cooking that opens the door to many other chestnut preparations.

STEP 1

Make a cut in the chestnuts and place them in a pot with water or a mild stock. You can add a bay leaf to perfume the cooking.

STEP 2

Cook them until tender but not falling apart. The right point is what lets you peel them well while keeping their shape.

STEP 3

Peel them while still warm and set them aside to serve immediately or to fold into other autumn recipes.
