Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire...
When buying chestnuts, pick over them carefully, choosing only those that are a rich brown color and firm. If they smell like mold, look dull or blotchy, feel light and rattle, or have pin-holes, leave them behind.
Before roasting the chestnuts, wipe them down with a damp cloth and use a paring knife to cut an “X” on the round side of each nut, to keep them from exploding. Put the chestnuts in the pan, spritz them with a little water, and then set the pan over the flame. Shake the pan frequently and continue roasting until the skins are charred. The skins will peel back from the meat where you cut into them; this should take 10-15 minutes (or longer depending on how hot the fire is.) The tricky part is knowing when they are done. Under-cooked chestnuts are translucent and leathery in the middle, while over-cooked chestnuts get dry and mealy. With practice, you will be able to tell when they are perfect.
Wrap the hot chestnuts in an old towel, squeeze them hard to crush the skins, and let them steam in the towel for five or so minutes to make peel more easily. Open the towel and peel the chestnuts and serve them warm. Of course, you may want to sing a few versus of “The Christmas Song” before nibbling on the roasted treats!
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
