In reply to Kathryn. Sorry about this! You should add it with the other dried spices in step 8.

Cooked it yesterday – we have spent the weekend at Etna and collectedsome fresh chestnust in the forrest there. I made it with a few small adjustments (substituted star anice with a little bit of Chinese 5 spice mix that I’ve made some time ago). It all came out delicious and I’m very excited that I will also have some leftovers for lunch today!

Thank you, your website became a wonderful discovery for me!

In reply to SB. The chestnut doesn't' really add flavors to the dish and it is here more for texture. You can skip the chestnut if you cannot find them. Sometimes I also use mushrooms and it is super tasty.

Nice recipe. Are there any substitutes for 板栗(Bǎnlì/chinese chestnut)? Thanks.

Thank you for this delicious recipe. I cannot eat sweet chestnuts so I was very pleased to find a savoury recipe using this ingredient.
