Any tips for roasting chestnuts?

[mudbug]

Interesting, I have chestnuts in the kitchen right now and am hoping to find a good application for them. Anyone out there acutally "like" chestnuts?

I have some roasted chestnuts in the kitchen right now. If I peel them, and maybe cook them a little bit more (wet), I can make a nice puree, which can be used as a filling for chocolates or cake, or in a savory sauce or soup.

The way I like them best is the simple roasted chesnut with salt.

Oh yaeh, I almost forgot the classic candied chestnut in vanilla syrup. They're a great garni for chestnut flavored desserts.

Let's not forget the classic Mont Blanc...
