Alta - I found when I was roasting chestnuts that if I left them in the oven for a bit longer it was much easier to remove the skin. Mary - I've never made dumplings before, but the chestnut / pork / mushrooms combo sounds amazing! lululu - I can imagine that chestnuts would be a great addition to any type of stew - if you like that sort of thing :) Thanks all for your really great comments!

I've only cooked with chestnuts once - last year for Christmas. I made chestnuts with brussel sprouts and bacon. The chestnuts, despite my scoring an X on the bottom of the hull, were still a pain to remove and ended up being in little pieces. Not sure what I did wrong there! Sounds pretty good.

I love chestnuts. I have not tried it in beef stew yet. My mom used to add to bamboo leaves wrapped dumplings when we were young and they tasted awesome. The filling is a beautiful combination of chestnuts, belly pork slices, dried shrimps and Chinese dried mushrooms. We loved them very much. This dish looks so delicious. I love chestnuts.
