Chestnuts

I have no experience of chestnuts.  They're a European product.  I know doodooo squat.  They sell them on the streets roasted in the winter in Europe.  There's the canned variety of water chestnuts in abundance in Asia.  But using chestnuts for actual cooking, nope, not familiar with that at all.

So I get these little things from Carrefour, I pureed them.  Yeah they're OK.  Earthy and rich but not my go to.  I decided to toast them until crisp.  I am talking the peeled recooked vac packed jobs and treated in this way they are nutty, sweet, dry and sort of a low oil version of a large macadamia.  Very very good.
Beef with extra crispy roasted chestnuts.  Yum.
