- 1/4 c. sherry vinegar
- 1/2 tsp dry rosemary
- 1/2 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms stems discarded

- With a vegetable peeler, pare skin from squash and throw away. Cut squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out and throw away seeds. Cut squash into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut sufficient into neat 1/4-inch cubes to make 2 c.; chop remainder.
- In a 3- to 4-qt pan over high heat, bring broth to a boil. Add in squash cubes and cook till barely tender when pierced, 3 to 4 min. With a slotted spoon, transfer cubes to a bowl.
- To pan, add in minced squash, garlic, vinegar, and rosemary. Boil, stirring occasionally, till most of the liquid is evaporated and squash mashes easily when pressed, about 30 min.
- Meanwhile, rinse, drain, and quarter shiitake mushroom caps. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over high heat, combine 2 Tbsp. butter and shiitakes; stir often till mushrooms are lightly browned, 5 to 6 min.
- In a blender or possibly food processor, combine minced squash mix, chestnuts, and 2 Tbsp. butter; whirl till smooth. Scrape into a shallow 1 1/2-qt casserole (microwave-safe if making ahead). Scatter cooked cubed squash and mushrooms over pureed squash mix. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Roasted Chestnuts: Sort chestnuts, discarding those which feel very light (they are apt to be moldy), to make 1 lb. (about 4 c.) nuts. Cut an X through the flat side of each shell. Spread chestnuts in a single layer in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan. Bake in a 400 degree oven till nuts are no longer starchy-tasting (taste to test), about 30 min. Wrap warm nuts in a towel and enclose in a plastic bag; let stand till cold sufficient to touch, about 10 min. Take out 1 nut at a time and, with a short-bladed knife, pull off and throw away shell and as much of the brown skin as you can. Use hot or possibly cool. (Makes 2 c.)
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Comments: Instead of roasting fresh chestnuts, you can use peeled cooked chestnuts, that are available frzn, vacuum-packed and shelf-stable, and packed in water and canned. If making casserole up to 1 day ahead, cold, cover airtight, and chill; to reheat, uncover and cook in a microwave oven on full power (100%) till warm, about 4 min.
