Title: CHESTNUT ROAST
Categories: Vegetarian, Vegetables, Main dish
Yield: 6 servings

2 tb Butter (or margarine or oil)
1 lg Onion; peeled and chopped
2 Celery stalks
– finely chopped
2 lb Chestnuts; peeled cooked
-=OR=-
3 cn -Whole chestnuts (15 oz ea.)
-soaked and cooked
2 tb Chopped parsley
2 tb Lemon juice
1 Garlic clove; crushed
Fresh breadcrumbs (Optional)
-(should be whole wheat)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c Oil

————————FOR COATING————————
Dried breadcrumbs

Melt the butter (or substitute) and saute the onion
and celery over moderate heat for 10 minutes until
soft but not brown. Transfer to a large bowl. Drain
the chestnuts and add to the bowl. Mix these
ingredients together well.

Mash the chestnuts, onion and celery, then mix into
the bowl the chopped parsley, lemon juice and garlic.

The mixture should be soft but firm enough to form
into a roll, so add a few whole-wheat breadcrumbs, if
necessary, especially if you’re using canned
chestnuts. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to
taste.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Pour a little of the oil
into a roasting pan and put into the oven to heat.

Form the chestnut mixture into a roll about 8 inches
long, pressing it together carefully, then coat it
well with the dried breadcrumbs. Put the chestnut roll
into the roasting pan and carefully turn it so that it
is coated with hot oil.

Bake for 45 minutes, until it is crisp on the outside,
spooning a little more of the oil over the roll from
time to time during the cooking. Serve the Chestnut
Roast cut into slices.
