How to do chestnuts
Chill them.
Think of chestnuts as a fruit. To keep them fresh, store them in your fridge in a brown paper bag (like mushies). If you boil or roast and peel them, you can store them in the freezer for up to a year. That means yummy chestnuts all year round!
Roast them.
In our humble opinion, the best way to enjoy chestnuts is to roast them up the traditional way and enjoy with a drop of red on a crisp autumn evening. Get tips on how to roast them (plus heaps of recipe ideas) at Chestnuts Australia.
Bake them.
Boil and add them into soups and stews. Throw them into a stir-fry for a surprising twist. Blend them with garlic and tahini to make hummus. Make cookies and cakes and sweet chestnut jams. You’ll be amazed what you can do!
