Chinese Braised Chicken and Chestnuts
From one of my Chinese cookbooks. It’s in Chinese, so some measurements are a little general. It’s pretty simple, and what can be better than chicken and ginger on a cold day?
Truffled Cream of Chestnut Soup
An autumn/winter companion with a warming quality. This is a basic version, feel free to experiment with different herbs or adding white wine to this nice soup.
Chestnuts and Prunes
Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. I LOVE chestnuts. On the streets of New York City during the winter vendors roast them on the street and you can buy warm and fragrant little bags of them to keep your hands warm and tummy full while window shopping. Fond memories of Christmas in New York, but this particular recipe is a Christmas in Austria recipe (from a cookbook of countries along the Danube). You can serve them with crown roast of pork (I wouldn’t, but then I’m a vegetarian). Have not tried this recipe yet.
