Chestnuts are listed in large numbers in autumn, and this year's chestnut prices are moderate, about 4 yuan a catty. Compared with walnuts, almonds and other nuts, chestnuts have less oil content and high content of minerals and trace elements, so they are very popular with the public.
At this time of year, the child always pesters me to eat chestnuts. The method of sautéing chestnuts at home with sugar from dried fruit shops is not quite appropriate, so most households boil them with water. At first, my family also boiled with water, but the chestnuts made were very difficult to peel, and the flesh and skin were stuck together, which was very inconvenient to eat. Later, I researched a very good method, making the chestnuts easy to peel.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first step in picking chestnuts</h1>
It is difficult for a woman to cook without rice. Without high-quality chestnuts, no matter what method you use, the ones won't taste good.
There are three points to pay attention to when choosing chestnuts: (1) Look at the shape. When picking, there are four or five chestnuts in a large chestnut shell, and the chestnuts in the outer circle are round, receiving more light, and the particles are fuller and sweeter. The flat chestnut inside, the particles are not full, the taste is not good.
(2) Look at the weight. Fresh chestnuts are well hydrated and heavier. Chestnuts of the same size, with smaller weight, are often stored for a long time or have been eaten by insects.
(3) Smell the smell. Fresh chestnuts have a faint aroma, while chestnuts that have been stored for a long time cannot be smelled.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the second step of cleaning and soaking</h1>
Prepare 2 pounds of evenly sized chestnuts and wash off the impurities on the surface of the chestnuts with clean water. If the chestnuts are stored for a long time and the epidermis is dry, soak them in cool water for another 30 minutes after washing. This increases the humidity of the chestnut and the finished product is baked without drying.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the third step of the cutter</h1>
After soaking, drain. Use a knife to steadily cut the cross flower knife on top of the chestnut. Be sure to be careful, the skin of the chestnut is relatively hard, smooth, feel the general technology, you can put the chestnut on the board with a knife cut.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fourth step of refueling and stirring</h1>
After cutting, place the chestnuts in a basin, pour two tablespoons of cooking oil and stir well so that each chestnut sticks to the oil. The purpose of the oil release is to accelerate the ripening of the chestnut, while adding some oil to make the chestnut more moist.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fifth step of baking</h1>
Spread a layer of blotting paper on the baking sheet, and place the cut chestnuts evenly on the baking sheet, with the opening facing upwards, leaving a certain gap between the chestnuts. Set the oven to 180 degrees, heat up and down and bake for 20 minutes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the sixth step of brushing honey juice</h1>
After 20 minutes of roasting, the chestnuts have opened their mouths, revealing a golden flesh and a fragrant fragrance.
Prepare the honey sauce: Mix well with two spoonfuls of honey, one spoonful of sugar and three spoonfuls of water in a bowl. Dip the brush in the honey juice and brush it at the opening of each chestnut to allow the honey to soak into the chestnut, which is the key to the sweetness of the chestnut.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the seventh step and bake again</h1>
Then put it in the oven, still at 180 degrees, on high and low heat, and bake for another 10 minutes, allowing the honey to soak and adsorb onto the chestnuts.
This is done, the chestnuts are very soft and sticky, sweet and delicious. Chestnut peel is particularly easy to peel, and my children can easily peel it off themselves.
