I found this recipe in a magazine about 6 years ago. I made this a few years later, and loved it! It was a fun alternative to make around the holidays. It was hard to find the chestnuts, but if you have a World Market store around, they sell a jar of chestnuts around the holidays for a fairly reasonable cost. I had never had chestnuts before, and was surprised when I opened the jar to find they are semi-soft, and very easy to work with. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chestnuts, chopped
2 slices bacon, chopped
5 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 small garlic clove, whole
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1/2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
24 wonton wrappers
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in 2 tbsp butter until crisp on edges.
2. Add shallot and garlic, cook until soft.
3. Add chestnuts and water, simmer until liquid is reduced. Discard garlic.
4. Transfer to bowl, mash to paste with fork and add parsley and parmesan.
5. Season lightly with a dash of salt.
