Steps:

• To peel a chestnut, cut a large X into one side of the shell, cutting all the way through the tough membrane. (If you don't, the chestnut will blow up in your oven. Imagine popcorn the size of a ping-pong ball!)
• Put the chestnuts in a shallow pan and bake in a preheated 325°F oven until the shells curl along the cuts and the outsides are nicely toasted (about 15 minutes). Cool slightly (they're easier to peel while they're still warm) and remove the shells.
• Rub in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much as possible of the dark, bitter membrane.
• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add enough salt until the water is salty tasting. Prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside. Cook Brussels sprouts in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes; they will still have some bite to them. Drain sprouts and place in ice bath.
