Abu Farwa
People usually flock to buy large quantities of chestnuts, or so-called Abu Farwa, to eat during the winter times. They are considered very delicious, especially when grilled. The chestnut fruit usually consists of a hard shell and then a skin surrounding the inner core. What distinguishes chestnuts when grilled is hearing a cracking sound. It moves from its place due to the release of air bubbles that are trapped by the peel. Therefore, it is necessary to have a correct way to cook the Abu Farwa by grilling or boiling it. Sometimes it is used in the manufacture of spices and sweets, but many people prefer the famous method, which is grilling the Abu Farwa.
How to grill Abu Farwa
- Bring a kilo of Abu Farwa or whatever you and your family need to eat it. Cut the chestnut with a knife to make small slits in the bean. To grill it, use the oven or charcoal. When using the oven, heat it to 190 degrees, and place Abu Farwa in a tray. Grill it for a quarter of an hour until the skin changes color, then turn it until it is cooked on the other side. As for the charcoal, place it on the grill grate and grill it for ten minutes, turning it from time to time until it is cooked and the color of the skin changes. After that, peel the Abu Farwa and put it in a plate. Serve hot, with butter and honey on the side, and enjoy the delicious taste.
