Microwave Chestnuts

Ingredients: 

7-10 large Chestnuts

 

Directions: 

Wash and score the outside shell of the chestnuts.

Place chestnuts in microwaveable bowl, and fill with enough water to cover the chestnuts.

Lightly cover bowl with wet paper towel and microwave on high for about 3 minutes.

Peel the chestnuts while they are still hot; dip your hand in cold water as you peel to prevent burning.

Tip – try to peel the outer shell and inner skin together.

Tip – start with less time on the microwave, chestnuts overcook easily in the microwave!
