| Two cups vacuum-packed whole cooked chestnuts in jars can be substituted for fresh ones. Chestnuts are easiest to peel while hot; peel one at a time, holding in a clean kitchen towel. Martha Stewart Living, November 1998 http://www.marthastewart.com/316500/caramelized-chestnuts-and-brussels-sprou Yield Serves 8 Ingredients | |
| 3/4 pound | fresh chestnuts |
| 2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| 2 pounds | brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half |
| Salt | |
| freshly ground black pepper | |
| 1/2 cup | cider vinegar |
| 1/4 cup | sugar |

Directions
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a paring knife or a chestnut knife, cut a large X into the shell of each chestnut on one side. Arrange on a baking pan in a single layer, cut side up. Roast until flesh is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately remove and discard shells, keeping chestnuts whole if possible. Set chestnuts aside.
Melt butter and oil in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. Add brussels sprouts; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 16 to 18 minutes.
Add roasted chestnuts. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until brussels sprouts are tender and spotted deep brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
Add vinegar, sugar, and turkey stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been reduced to a syrup, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve.
