Curious about the lack of potatoes in this dish? In Europe, Asia and Africa, chestnuts are often used as an everyday potato substitute, and I took that as a cue when I was writing this recipe. You will need shelled, boiled chestnuts for this recipe. ... More

You should post your pie shells, lot's of healthy folk out here...this sounds really good. I don't think I have ever tasted a chestnut or even seen one.


I'm thinking that canned water chestnuts might be pretty remarkable in this dish, as a substitute for the real chestnuts! Thanks for sharing, this sounds great and I'm going to try this dish soon -- I"ll let you know how it works out for me!


Note that water chestnuts will NOT give the same texture as tree chestnuts in this pie. Water chestnuts will remain crunchy, regular chestnuts are starchy and take on the texture of potatoes when cooked.
