Grilled Chestnuts

If you enter New York City during the holiday season you can smell the aroma of roasting chestnuts from pushcarts on just about every corner. No one is quite sure how chestnuts became a culinary Christmas tradition but even if you've never tried a chestnut, surely you know The Christmas Song, made famous by Nat King Cole!

Every few minutes open cover and look for charring.

Chestnuts will take roughly 8 – 10 minutes to cook, but watch for the scored area to split some and develop a nice golden color.
