Dietitian Notes / Recipe Tips
To remove the chestnuts from their skin, use a small sharp knife to carefully cut an ‘X’ on the flat side of each nut. Steam over a pan of boiling water for 8 – 10 minutes or until the skin starts to open up around the ‘X’ and come away from the flesh. Remove from the heat and plunge nuts into a bowl of iced water, then drain. The skin can now be peeled off the flesh.
Alternatively, prepare the nuts as above but simmer in a pan of boiling water for 6 – 8 minutes.
