Chestnut Stuffing Roulade
- 1 (6 ounce) box Stove Top stuffing mix
- 1 lb chestnuts, roasted in shell
- 1 butternut squash or 2 acorn squash
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash nutmeg, to taste
- 1 dash cinnamon
- Prepare stuffing mix according to box directions to make a drier stuffing.
- Set aside.
- Cook squash until well done.
- Peel, remove seeds and strings and press out most of the liquid, reserving the liquid.
- Lightly puree in blender or processor with peeled and skinned chestnuts and butter, adding back just enough of the reserved liquid as necessary to keep the puree at a mayo-to-peanut-butter consistency.
- Add salt and nutmeg to taste.
- Mix the eggs into the stuffing mix until well-blended.
- Add any remaining reserved liquid from the squash to keep moist.
- Spread on a standard size cookie sheet lined with parchment to about 1/2" thick.
- Bake at 350F until the egg is set but it is still flexible.
- Let cool for a bit.
- Spread stuffing sheet with squash and chestnut mixture.
- very lightly dust with cinnamon.
- Starting on a short side, start gently loosely rolling up the sheet.
- Be careful to not pinch too hard as the squash will sqeeze in the direction you are rolling.
- Use the parchment as an aid to keep the roll straight.
- As the roll is completed, it should end up on the seam.
- Leave it on the same pan, but try to get a little non-stick spray underneath on the pan.
- Return the roll to the 350F oven and bake until the internal temp reaches 160F Cool a little then slice on a bias.
- Serve placed over sliced turkey or pork and ladle with gravy.
- Realize chestnut is that flavor you've been trying to place with no luck for the last 27 years.
