Ingredients
750 grams chestnuts, fresh
1 cup mixed herbs, e.g. parsley, thyme, rosemary-chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 tbsp olive oil
3 anchovies chopped
1 tbsp capers, well washed, rinsed, dried and roughly chopped
¼ cup green olive flesh, roughly chopped
1 pinch peppercorns

Method

Score chestnuts by cutting a small x on the flat side with the tip of a sharp knife and place on a tray under a moderate to hot grill for about 10-15 minutes depending on their size. Parts of them will burn and go black. Don't worry; this is just the outer shell.

When ready place nuts in a clean tea towel. Wrap them up for five minutes. Giving them a little squeeze will make them easier to peel. Unwrap and peel both the outer shell and the pellicle off. Chop peeled chestnuts to size of large breadcrumbs and mix with remaining ingredients.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
