Chestnut Purée
Chestnut Purée is one of my most favorite desserts, especially since it is a rather healthy and has a naturally sweet taste that to me is almost like chocolate.
You can purchase the chestnuts online from us.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 cups of dried  chestnuts ratio of 1 cup chestnuts to 2 cups of water
4 cups of filtered or spring water
1 small piece of kombu
Preparation :
Soak the chestnuts for six hours or more. Next put them into a pressure cooker with the original soaking water. Soak a small piece of kombu for a few minutes and then add it to the pot too. Put the lid on and bring to pressure. After reaching pressure, lower it to a minimum and cook for 45 minutes. After pressure is down, you can either make the puree in a food mill, or use a food processor. I find that the second method results in a texture far creamier. With either method, simply puree until you have created a smooth consistency. Eat and enjoy. What works nice is to eat the puree the day you cook it, refrigerate, and you can once again enjoy it two days later.
