Quick Chestnut Dip
Ingredients:
Roast Chestnuts
Dip
Method:
Roast Chestnuts
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced)
  2. Cut a shallow cross into the flat side of each chestnut shell, this prevents the nut from overheating and bursting while cooking
  3. Place prepared chestnuts onto a baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the shells split open
  4. Once cooked, remove chestnuts from the heat and wrap in a clean tea towel for 5 to 10 minutes. While chestnuts are still warm, quickly peel off the outer brown shell and remove the papery thin skin underneath
Tips & Hints:
  • Add extra hot water for a smoother and thinner consistency.
Dip
  1. Combine cooked and peeled chestnuts, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, oil, hot water and salt in a food processor. Process until almost smooth
  2. To serve, spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and serve with lavosh or grilled flatbread and cucumber slices
