Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put each chestnut flat-side down on a chopping board. Hold the chestnut carefully and, using a sharp knife, cut a long slit or a cross in the top. Make sure you cut through the shell but not the nut inside. The shell is tough and flexible like a skin rather than rock hard like other nut shells, so a small kitchen knife works well.
- Tip the nuts onto a baking sheet or into a roasting tin and arrange them cut-side up. Roast for 30 mins. The cuts should open up and the shell will start to peel back.
- Leave the nuts in the tin to cool down to warm - they will be very hot inside. Put a board on top of the tin while they cool to trap the steam and make them easier to peel. Serve as they are for people to peel, or peel them yourself to use in a recipe.
- If you peel them, you may want to remove the inner, slightly fluffy, membrane as well. If the membrane is difficult to get off (it shouldn't be if you steam them as they cool), you can soak the nuts in boiling water for a minute to loosen. Drain and peel.

CHESTNUT STUFFING
If you love stuffing don't just stop at one. Cook one inside the turkey to help keep it juicy, then cook another separately. This classic chestnut, bacon and herb stuffing is packed full of flavour and perfect for Christmas.

- Chestnut pasta. These delicious nuts are not only suitable for festive occasions, but make a welcome addition to hearty pasta dishes which you can whip up for a midweek family meal, such as Italian sausage & chestnut pasta or for a weekend project try pappardelle with rabbit & chestnut ragu.
- Chestnut risotto. Chestnuts are great for adding texture to risottos. Our indulgent mushroom & chestnut pearl barley risotto is the definition of comfort in a bowl, with creamy ricotta cheese.
- Soups and stews. Chilly winter nights are always improved with a bowl of comfort food. This venison sausage & chestnut casserole is the perfect make-ahead dinner party main, enriched with a red wine sauce and served with creamy mash.

14 BEST CHESTNUT RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Oven-Roasted Chestnuts. If you live in or visit many major cities across Europe and the U.S., you will see roasted chestnuts appear at street stalls throughout the late autumn and winter.
- Chestnut Pasta in Butter and Sage Sauce. While traditionally associated with Italian peasants, flour made from chestnuts originally came about as an alternative for those who couldn’t afford wheat flour.
- Vegan Chestnut Soup. This smooth roasted chestnut soup has all the subtle flavors of the tree nut, with added nutrition from carrots and veggie broth, all lightly spiced with cloves and bay leaves.
- Chestnut Stuffing. Whether you make this tasty stuffing as a Thanksgiving side or a comfort food dish for another meal, you’ll love the addition of meaty chestnuts for a different texture and flavor.
- Marrons Glacé. In France, these decadent candied chestnuts sell out quickly, because the flavor is so popular. Create them at home for an indulgent treat that would work great as a party or even wedding flavor.
- Karyoka Truffles. Try karyoka or Turkish truffles made from chocolate-covered chestnut puree sprinkled with chopped pistachios, for a different twist on holiday candy.
- Tuscan Chestnut Cake. This unleavened chestnut dessert tastes like a cross between a slightly sweet cake and a flatbread, and usually appears on fall tables in Tuscany.
- Roast Goose and Chestnut Stuffing. Before turkey took over, goose often starred as the centerpiece at holiday meals. Stuffed with a savory chestnut filling, this rolled goose roast comes out tender and moist thanks to a water bath that keeps it from drying out.
- Sweetened Chestnut Purée. Used in a variety of Italian, French, and Hungarian desserts, sweetened chestnut puree has a nutty, subtle flavor that levels up a range of desserts.
- Roasting Chestnuts on the Grill. Forget about an open fire—roast your chestnuts on the grill for a smoky, toasty flavor. The high, intense heat your grill can deliver will result in a deliciously sweet taste.
