Schwynigs and Cheschtenae, Pork with Chestnuts

Soak the dried chestnuts in cold water for one night. The brown skins can then be easily removed, this is best done with a sharp knife. With frozen chestnuts, there is no need to soak them: simply defrost them.

Cover the Rippli or Schuefeli with cold water. Slowly bring to a boil, then do it on a low fire with the lid closed for about 50 min. Take out and drain well.

Melt the sugar to a light brown caramel. Add the butter and let it foam up. Add the chestnuts and cover with caramel while shaking the pan. Extinguish with the soup. Put the Schuefeli or possibly the Rippli on top of the chestnuts and cook the whole thing for another 40 minutes with the lid closed.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Add them after 15 minutes and cook. If necessary, add a little soup.

To serve, cut the Schuefeli or Rippli into slices. Fill chestnuts and potatoes into a warmed bowl and arrange meat on top.
