I once ate chicken with chestnut stuffing which was really tasty. Today you can buy ready bags of chestnuts so it is really easy. I am interested in food rather than cakes. Thanks

When I was growing up, my mom used to add chestnuts to stews (any and all), peeled of course, just throw them in when the meat is about halfway done. I sometimes throw a handfull into cholent, or into any grain pilaf, when the grain is almost done.

Maybe you could try adding some sugar or honey to the pan in the last few minutes of cooking the chestnuts to help with the carmelization. And for a side dish, what if you added them to mashed potatoes? OOOH, I just had an idea. Try carmelizing them with some onions and garlic and serve with an egg or two on toast with the yolks ooozing all over! I all of a sudden feel very inspired.

I will also try them in a stir-fry. Great idea! Thanks for the help Last Edited On: 01/03/2012 13:42 By CookMama - Reason: spelling error
