Delicate sublime taste, a cinch to prepare. Recipe is here (I didn't add any more liquid at the end).
Fine Cooking has directions for boiling or roasting your chestnuts (which are available at Trader Joe's and Hannafords supermarkets). For roasting: first soak the chestnuts in warm water for 20 minutes or so. Drain and dry off. Cut an "X" into the flat part of the shell (careful!!), cutting through the shell. Put in a baking sheet and roast at 400 deg F for about 30 minutes. While still warm, remove the shell and inner skin. Roasted chestnuts smell veddy, veddy nice, and they have a slightly nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Try it, you'll like it!
I added quail meat to my last batch of roasted chesnut soup, and it was killer.
