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!
