2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup Port wine

Thyme leaves, chopped

2 pounds chestnuts

3 cups chicken stock

Salt and pepper

Directions

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.
Serve as whole braised chestnuts or pass through a ricer and make a wonderful chestnut puree.
