PREPARING CHESTNUTS
To peel fresh chestnuts, first cut them in half or cut a slit in the shell with a knife, then heat them for 5 minutes in boiling water or a in a hot oven (400 degrees F), and remove the shells while the chestnuts are still warm. The inner skin, called the pellicle, can be eaten or removed. Chestnuts require 30-60 minutes cooking time, depending on desired softness. Cooked chestnuts can be pureed in a food processor.
Dried chestnuts must be rehydrated by simmering them in water for 30 minutes before they can be used.
