Has anyone got a favourite way of using chestnuts?
Phil and I collected lots when we were on holiday

Mary do you roast them or puree them? I would use some in stuffing and I think I have a few recipes around here I can look up for you.

I did use some in some veggie dishes for Christmas. At the last minute I throw them in with some green beans.

Also I took some Brussel sprouts that were boiled and then saute them in a bit of butter with the chestnuts and then add some orange zest and juice. And throw in a few fresh cranberries and cook just till heated through and sprouts have just a hint of golden brown and juice is reduced slightly.

Chestnut Soup With Butternut Squars and Parma Ham this one sounds yummy!!!

Venison and Chestnut casserole

Pork and Chestnut stuffing balls

Chocolate and Chestnut mousse

I like them in stuffing and in venison or beef casseroles.I found you can cook them in the microwave but have to be careful or they explode!

I would think you could add them to just about anything. I love them. I even like eating them just plain roasted.
