This rich purée also makes a lovely accompaniment to Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas ham.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound roasted whole chestnuts (available at specialty stores)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2

Method

Simmer the chestnuts in the chicken stock for 30 minutes, then put them through a vegetable mill. Stir the remaining ingredients into the puree, mixing well. If the puree seems too thick, whisk in a little more stock. Serve hot.
