INGREDIENTS:<\/h2>\n
    \n(Serves 4 to 6)<\/p>\n
      \n
    • 14-16 ounces cooked and peeled chestnuts<\/li>\n
    • 2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n
    • 2 teaspoons dark or light brown sugar<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li>\n
    • 1 large sprig fresh sage plus 10-15 extra sage leaves for garnish, optional<\/li>\n
    • 1 lemon, peel removed in long strands with a citrus stripper<\/li>\n
    • Canola oil for frying sage, optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      METHOD:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Combine the chestnuts, butter, brown sugar, salt, sage sprig, and 1\/3 cup of water in a large skillet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, uncovered, tossing frequently, until the water has evaporated, the butter begins to sizzle and the chestnuts begin to brown (5 to 8 minutes).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Continue cooking, shaking the pan to toss the chestnuts back and forth, until they are nicely caramelized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Remove the sage sprig and, if you are not adding sage leaves for garnish, stir in the lemon zest and serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
