7 A Box Of Chestnuts Recipe

Shell 1 qt. of chestnuts and cover with boiling water; leave them for

fifteen minutes, then rub off the brown skins. Put them into a

saucepan, cover them with soup stock and let them boil 1/2 an hour; when

done, drain. Save the stock. Into a frying pan put 1 tablespoonful of

butter and when melted add 1 of flour; cook until browned, then add the

stock and stir until it boils; add salt and pepper to taste. Lay the

chestnuts in a box made of fried bread and pour the sauce over.



To make the box, take a loaf of bread, cut off the crust and leave the

sides as smooth as possible. Cut out the centre, leaving a box shaped

piece. Fry this in deep fat.
