One of my favorite simple winter snacks, chestnuts are beloved around the world, including in Korea.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb chestnuts, raw, in-shell
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. Rinse and drain chestnuts, gently agitating to remove any dust
  2. Add chestnuts to a medium pot and add cold water until just covered
  3. If using, add a pinch of salt to the water
  4. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or to desired doneness
Notes
A pound of chestnuts is 35 to 40 chestnuts.

The simplest way to snack on them is to cut them in half (or bite, I won't judge as long as your teeth are up for it), and scoop out the good stuff with a small but sturdy dessert spoon; one with a thin, tapered edge works best.
