Ingredients

  • 500 g chestnuts
  • 500 g sour apples
  • dry red wine
  • 0.5 cup oil
  • Salt
  • pepper (ground)
  • Hot paprika powder

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel the apples, quarter them, remove cores, place in a bowl and cover with dry red wine; marinate for about 2 hours until the apple wedges turn pink.

  2. 2.

    Slice chestnuts crosswise with a sharp knife and roast on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 220°C for 30 minutes, until the shells crack. After 10 minutes pour 1 cup of water onto the tray to keep the chestnuts from drying out; remove the cracked ones, let them cool slightly, and mix with the drained apples.

  3. 3.

    Mix oil with ½ tsp pepper and paprika and brush inside and outside the bird with it.

  4. 4.

    Rub a little salt into the cavity.

  5. 5.

    Place the apple‑chestnut filling in the cavity, sew it shut, and during roasting periodically brush with the seasoned oil and finish with red wine.
