--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2  cups          chestnuts -- ground
    1/2  cup           whole wheat flour
                       (I used barley flour)
    1/2  cup           nutritional yeast
  4      tablespoons   lemon juice
  1                    potato -- grated
  4      stalks        green onion -- thinly sliced
  2      stalks        celery -- grated
  1                    carrot -- grated
  1      tablespoon    soy sauce -- (orig: 1 tsp salt)
  1      tsp           basil
  1      teaspoon      thyme
  1      teaspoon      sage
  1      tablespoon    fresh rosemary -- or 1 tsp dried
  1 1/2  cups          warm water
                       Sprinkles of cayenne

Prepare chestnuts by cutting an X on the flat side with a sharp knife, then
roasting in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Shell the nuts and chop
coarsely.

Measure out 1 1/2 cups then put them in a blender or food processor and
grind them to a fine powder or paste. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then
transfer to a loaf pan - sprinkle with cayenne and bake at 350 degrees for
an hour. Cool completely, unmold, slice thin a serve with french bread or
lowfat crackers.

"Actually, the cayenne thing was a fortunate mistake - I grabbed it instead
of the paprika! "
