BRAISED CHESTNUTS
Steps:
- Heat a large heavy saucepan. Add the oil, butter, and chopped onions. When onions turn slightly brown, deglaze with port wine. Add thyme, chestnuts, chicken stock, and a little salt and pepper. Cover and cook until chestnuts are tender and the chestnuts have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Serve as whole braised chestnuts or pass through a ricer and make a wonderful chestnut puree.

Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add broth and bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until onions are tender, 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook fresh Brussels sprouts in large pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. (Or cook frozen Brussels sprouts according to package directions.) Rinse with cold water. Drain.
- Add chestnuts to onions, cover and simmer until chestnuts are tender, about 4 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover onion mixture and Brussels sprouts separately and refrigerate. Reheat onion mixture before continuing.) Add Brussels sprouts to onions. Boil until Brussels sprouts are heated through and liquid is syrupy, about 4 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper and serve.
DAVID TANIS'S ONION CONFIT
The French word "confit" usually refers to food that is slowly cooked in some kind of fat. Originally, confit was a method used for preserving meat, typically duck, goose or pork. When stored and cooled in earthenware crocks, a layer of fat on top kept the food from spoiling by sealing out air. Onion confit, on the other hand, is a savory preparation of sliced onions, cooked to a soft, almost melting consistency, often seasoned with salt, herbs, sugar and vinegar for a somewhat sweet-and-sour effect. Sometimes called onion marmalade, a spoonful or two makes a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats. It may also be used to make onion tarts or pizzas, or as a "bed" for baked fish. The mixture will last for a week or so, refrigerated. To use, reheat gently over low heat.

Steps:
- Cut onions in half from top to bottom (not crosswise). With a paring knife, peel each onion half. Lay each onion half flat side down. Holding the knife at a slight angle, cut away and discard the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Put a large heavy-bottomed pot, preferably enameled cast iron, over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add all the sliced onions and stir to coat. Sprinkle with sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until onions begin to wilt and soften, without browning, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, vinegar and wine. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion mixture is quite soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaves and thyme. Serve warm.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut a cross in the rounded side of each chestnut. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Immerse chestnuts, and let boil for about 3 minutes. Turn off heat, but leave chestnuts in hot water. Extract them one at a time, and remove shell and inner lining that clings to the meat. If necessary, return nuts to hot water, and boil another minute or two. When all chestnuts have been peeled, set them aside.
- Cut off onion tops. Trim root end to make a neat appearance, but leave enough of it intact to hold the onions together while cooking. Peel onions.
- In wide casserole or deep saute pan that can go into the oven, melt butter in corn oil. When butter foam has subsided, add onions, and cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, to brown all over.
- Add chestnuts to onions and mix well. Add glace de viande, wine and black pepper. When wine is bubbling, place a round of buttered aluminum foil directly over chestnuts and onions, cover pan, and place in a 350-degree oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until onions can be pierced through with a knife but are still firm and hold their shape. There should be a small amount of syrupy liquid in the bottom of the pan. If there is too much, place over medium-high heat for a few minutes to reduce. Serve immediately.
