1/2 cup onion, finely chopped |
1 cup port wine |
thyme leaves, chopped |
2 pounds chestnuts |
3 cups chicken stock |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat a large heavy saucepan. Add the oil, butter, and chopped onions. When onions turn slightly brown, deglaze with port wine. Add thyme, chestnuts, chicken stock, and a little salt and pepper. Cover and cook until chestnuts are tender and the chestnuts have absorbed most of the liquid.
