CONFINEMENT RECIPE: BRAISED SPARERIBS WITH CHESTNUT AND MUSHROOM
January 12, 2016
I used dried chestnuts for this as I didn't have the fresh ones at home. Admittedly, they don’t have the mashed potato fluffiness of the fresh ones. If you are using the fresh ones, just cook and peel them before use.
