Chestnut cream with crispy jerky and cheese. The cream that tastes like home

This chestnut cream has become one of my favorites and will undoubtedly be on my table this Christmas. It is very easy to make, freezes very well and above all it is delicious.

The secret is to make it with chicken broth. You have my recipe here and if you have a pressure cooker you will praise in a little while. But if you can't do it, buy it and it will be just as tasty.

It is one of the creams that when you try it you just want more and the crispy jerky and cheese give it a very special touch.

Ingredients

50 g butter
60 ml olive oil
3 large potatoes
2 leeks
600 g chestnuts
100 g Grana Padano grated cheese
1 litre of chicken broth
Salt
Black pepper

For the Grana Padano crisp

100 g grated Grana Padano
A little black pepper

For the crispy jerky

3 slices of jerky

Directions

Chop the potatoes into squares and the leeks into thin slices. Set aside separately.

We make a cross on the chestnuts. Put them in a saucepan to boil for 10 minutes. Remove the peel and skin and set aside.

In a saucepan put the butter and oil. Add the leeks to and sauté until soft. At that moment add the potatoes and sauté. Add the chestnuts and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and add the broth. Let it cook for 15 minutes over low heat until the potatoes and chestnuts are tender. Add the cheese and blend until you get a smooth cream without lumps.

For the crunchy Grana Padano we put a lot of cheese on baking paper. Add a little pepper and cover with another baking paper. We microwaved for 2. Minutes at maximum power. We wait for them to cool and set aside carefully because they are very delicate.

For the crispy jerky, put the jerky on absorbent paper. Cover with another and microwave for 2 minutes at maximum power. Wait for them to cool.

Serve the cream very hot with the crispy cheese, the crumbled jerky and a little chopped parsley.
