How to cook chestnuts at home recipe. How to cook chestnuts: Parisian romance in our kitchen

Roasted chestnuts: look delicious.

Only a person living in the very south of Russia is able to appreciate the beauty of flowering chestnuts, the taste and unique aroma of roasted chestnuts. For the inhabitants of the remaining expanses of our vast homeland, this word itself is more likely associated with the image of Paris, right on the streets of which chestnuts are cooked in a large frying pan to be immediately offered, warm, to passers-by. A smell emanates far around, reminiscent of baked potatoes. And the taste has something of hazel and peanuts. But this didn’t stick with us.

In France, there is even a national Chestnut Festival, when the fruits of the Mediterranean tree are baked over fires in frying pans with holes, in roasting pans with small stones, soups and souffles are cooked with them, served with asparagus and seafood, risotto is prepared, bread and sweet treats are baked from chestnut flour ...

This picture: a street, a frying pan, a seller of roasted chestnuts is typical for many European cities on the eve of Christmas. It is unlikely that such a tradition will ever take hold among us: neither pancakes nor shish kebab... However, chestnuts began to appear on Russian markets and in supermarkets. They usually come from the Caucasus and are the fruits of trees that large quantities The Greeks planted them together with grapes, establishing colonies in the Black Sea region and Crimea during antiquity. And many of our fellow citizens are curious to know how to roast chestnuts, which those same ancient Greeks (and Romans) gladly ate for dessert and sipped their wine with. (And in Japan, the fruits of chestnut, cultivated in East Asia and in the Far East, not much is not enough - six thousand years, it is customary to serve it with beer).

Why not try it?

Indeed, why don’t we include this ancient product in our diet? Moreover, it is healthy, like all nuts, rich in natural plant proteins and carbohydrates, easily digestible human body and is quite suitable not only for fattening pigs. Unlike other nuts, it contains ascorbic acid, as well as folic acid, iron, copper, zinc, and potassium.

Just don’t try to collect nuts from the trees that grow on the streets and in the parks of our cities (except for Sochi and Tuapse). This is a decorative horse chestnut, suitable for not culinary but medicinal recipes.

It is not difficult to distinguish edible fruits. The spines on their shell are longer and softer, and the peel itself is almost white. And they look more like hazelnuts than horse chestnut.

So, you buy the fruits of chestnut or European chestnut. Before roasting chestnuts at home, select quality ones. Their kernels are usually wrinkled and the skin is brown and shiny. They will remain at the bottom when you fill the chestnuts with water and throw away those that float.

You can peel the chestnuts and eat them raw with sauce, meat and herbs. But it’s very difficult to peel fruits that haven’t been thermally treated. (However, as well as those that have cooled down after cooking). Therefore, they are cut single or crosswise with a knife or pierced with a fork - otherwise they will scare you by exploding in the pan, since they accumulate a lot of moisture. And fried or baked. Boiled ones are also suitable, but the taste will not be the same.

How to fry chestnuts in a frying pan. Recipe one

The recipe for roasting chestnuts is not simple, but very simple. Heat a dry, oil-free frying pan and fry over medium heat for about half an hour. Wait until it cools down a little so you can pick it up. Clean, sprinkle with salt or sugar - as you like - and serve.

It is unlikely that you will find in your kitchen a special frying pan for frying chestnuts - with holes. A regular one will do. But not Teflon!

How to fry chestnuts in a frying pan. Recipe two

How to roast chestnuts in the microwave

About the same as on the stove. But much faster - about five minutes at maximum power. And also be sure to add salted water to the microwave container and cut the chestnuts.

Let's tell you a secret that nuts fried in a microwave are less tasty than in a frying pan.

How to roast chestnuts in the oven

But in the oven they turn out amazing. The difference from previous cooking methods is the deeper cuts: otherwise the chestnuts will “shoot” the entire oven for you. And, of course, it must be thoroughly warmed up before you place the fruits on the baking sheet (cut side up). Baking time is the same half an hour, temperature is 240 degrees. In order not to overcook the nuts, it is important not to miss the moment when moisture begins to leak out of them. After this, keep the chestnuts on the fire for exactly seven minutes.

How to roast chestnuts in an air fryer

The recipe is similar to the previous one. Place the chestnuts on the baking sheet of this glass “pan”, making deep (from half a centimeter to one) cuts. Set the temperature to 180 degrees. Bake for twenty to thirty minutes.

A little secret on how to achieve a double boiler effect from an air fryer: place the chestnuts on the bottom rack on foil, and cover the top one with foil.

The main thing is not to overheat!

Whichever way you roast chestnuts, general rules are like that.

  1. Don't overdo it with time. Overcooked chestnuts cannot be chewed! And cleaning is just as problematic as raw ones.
  2. Cooled nuts lose all their taste and nutritional quality. Have time to eat it warm and don’t try to fry it for future use.
  3. Just as carefully as a shell, remove all films and membranes.
  4. Store raw chestnuts in a cool, dark pantry.

To clarify the details of the process, we suggest watching the video on how to fry chestnuts. It is easy to see that there are no big difficulties here.

If you don't stop halfway

Isn't it enough for you to just chew chestnuts like sunflower seeds or peanuts? Consider fried as a semi-finished product and add as an ingredient to vegetable stews or as a side dish for meat. You can mash it with a masher or beat it in a blender with warm milk. From such puree you can make a soufflé, make a sauce, even bake bread. Or add it to a cupcake, pie, cake, any dessert (ice cream, for example).

How to roast chestnuts

These reddish-cinnamon fruits are good not only as an independent dish. They are also included in the recipe for many other dishes. But, before we tell you how to cook chestnuts, let's talk about which ones you can eat.

Indeed, under this name there are several different varieties nuts that look similar to each other.

All of them are covered with a spiky green shell, under which shiny fruits of a characteristic shade are hidden. But the ones that are edible are more elongated, shaped like an onion, and have a tiny tail at the sharp end. The tree they grow on has long, toothed leaves attached to the branch by a stem. You can cook chestnuts of this variety without any fear.

But you shouldn’t eat the fruits of trees with large, spreading leaves, somewhat reminiscent of maple leaves - you can get poisoned. Their nuts are round, sometimes lumpy. And, unfortunately, they are the ones that grow in abundance in middle lane Russia. So residents of this region can buy chestnuts in the store.

Method 1

First of all, regardless of the chosen cooking method, they need to be cut. This can be done with special scissors, or with a regular sharp knife. Carefully make a longitudinal cut on the side, so as to slightly capture the flesh of the nut. You can pierce it with a fork or cut the brown peel crosswise from the sharp edge. Almost any chestnut recipe begins with this step.

Now the nuts have holes for steam to escape and they can be fried in a frying pan. It's a good idea to use a regular thick-walled container with a heavy lid, like the one you use to pop popcorn. Excellent choice there will be a grill pan. It needs to be heated over moderate heat without oil and put the chestnuts on it.

If they are old and dark, wrinkled flesh is visible through the cut, you can splash a tablespoon of water on them or lay a damp towel on top. This way they will be steamed at the first stage of cooking and will not be dry. But even without these manipulations the result will be successful. The main thing is to remember that it is correct to fry chestnuts in a frying pan, covered, over moderate heat, stirring from time to time. When they start to bounce and burst loud claps, you can simply shake the container.

Check the nuts. If they have darkened, the brown shell has charred in places, and the cut has opened to reveal the light flesh, the chestnuts are ready. Now you can cool them slightly, remove the peel (this is easy while they are hot) and eat. You shouldn’t wait until they have completely cooled down – this will greatly reduce the taste.

Method 2

If desired, you can cook chestnuts in the oven. For this, it is better to make a cross-shaped cut on the fruit from one of the edges.

Place the prepared nuts on a dry baking sheet and place in the oven, heated to 220 degrees.

After 15-20 minutes, check their condition. If the cut opens like a flower, you can turn off the heat - everything is ready.

Using oven mitts, being careful not to burn yourself, remove the skins from the nuts.

Method 3

You can also cook chestnuts in the microwave. It is fast, modern and, if you are not lazy and make the necessary cuts on each of them, it is safe.

Having prepared the fruits in this way, place them in a wide but shallow container for microwave ovens.

Salt them a little and pour a few tablespoons into them hot water. Since it is almost impossible to roast chestnuts in the microwave, it is better to steam them and peel them. Then, if you really want to, lightly fry the kernels in oil or without it.

For now, cover the container. cling film or a lid (preferably not glass) and microwave for 6-8 minutes at full power. Try one thing at a time, cook for a few more minutes if necessary.
