We switched fruits and relaxed our minds for some days and wild-harvested chestnuts in the mountains. These old huge and magnificent chestnut trees in the wild and dense valley forests around Sparta are insanely beautiful!

Beautiful!

Wow. This is wealth.

What’s your preferred way of using the chestnut?

Yeah, it is indeed!! I like grilling them on the open fire. But when we boil them in water they remain more juicy. Then with butter melting on top or using them in deserts ... ayayay 👌🏻 We are still experimenting. Can you suggest a favorite recipe?

I’m having my first small crop of chestnut this year. So fare I concluded that it take some technique to cook them successfully. It worked well to zap them in the microwave oven after a light boil. Peeled chestnuts are a great vessel for animal fat

Super nice! And interesting ... why do you keep animal fat in the chestnut peel?

Lol. No. I mean that the peeled chestnuts are good with animal fats. Such as butter

Ahaha, I see. Oh yes, hot chestnuts with butter etc. on top - amazing!!

Man, we ate the chestnuts with boiled eggs and our freshly pressed olive oil with sea salt and black pepper. Insanely good!!
