Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh chestnuts
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
3 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

Steps:

  • Score the flat side of each chestnut with an X. Place the chestnuts into a large pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove chestnuts from the pot.

  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any outer leaves that are damaged or discolored.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This step helps to preserve the sprouts' color and texture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the sprouts and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Roast the chestnuts: If you are using fresh chestnuts, you will need to roast them before using them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spread the chestnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the shells are cracked and the chestnuts are tender.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: This recipe is a great opportunity to experiment with different flavors. Try adding herbs such as thyme or rosemary, or spices such as paprika or cumin.
