Description
Warm, sweet, and nourishing, boiled chestnuts are the perfect winter snack. This is a quick method to prepare them, you won’t need an ‘open fire’.
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram / 2.2 lbs chestnuts
- enough water to cover them
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse the chestnuts.
- Place them in your pressure cooker and add enough water to submerge them.
- Set the pressure cooker to high for 8 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Once the pressure is fully released, drain the chestnuts. They can be served either warm or cold.
- To consume, either slice the skin with a knife or break it using your teeth at the tapered end to access the creamy white flesh. For a cleaner result, use a paring knife to peel them.
- Leftover boiled chestnuts remain tasty the following day. Store them at room temperature, in a covered container.
