ingredients
20 chestnuts
1 ounce butter
6 button mushrooms, wiped and finely chopped
1/2 pint consomme, stock or milk
salt
black pepper
directions
Slice chestnuts along one side. Place chestnuts in a pan with a little water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and remove shell and skins while still hot.
Pound chestnuts in a mortar or rub through a sieve. Place chestnut paste (powder) in a pan with the butter, mushrooms and liquid. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Season to taste. If sauce is too thick add more liquid.
NOTE: Sauce can also be made by placing shelled and skinned chestnuts and other ingredients in a liquidizer. As a variation, two small, chopped shallots can replace mushrooms.
Serve with ham, game or turkey.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
