Merchant Gourmet Plant-based Simplicity Merchant Gourmet Whole Chestnuts (Ready-to-eat pouch & Vegan) We have an appetite for change; to help save the planet one delicious plant-based meal at a time. Join us on our mission by enjoying tasty whole chestnuts. They have been cooked, peeled and sealed in this pouch to capture their naturally sweet and mild flavour. They're so easy to use. Mix them into stuffings and stews, whizz them into soups, or stir them into cake mixes and patѐs to add some extra texture and flavour. "I couldn’t happily do without these, ever. And obviously, they come into particular prominence at Christmas. Once my Brussel sprouts are cooked and drained, I fry pancetta cubes or scissored snippets of bacon in a little oil in the now empty pan and, when crisp, I add butter, then tumble in these chestnuts to heat up, before adding the sprouts back and tossing everything together, adding a generous handful of roughly chopped parsley. But I love chestnuts so much, I couldn’t just eat them at Christmas Dinner. Add them to soups and stews for the last 10 minutes of cooking, or crumble them into salads, my favourite of which is a radicchio salad with blue cheese, chestnuts, and a sprauncy citrus dressing made with a 2:1:1 ratio of oil, clementine juice and lime juice, and a very little grain mustard and honey."
