Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 2 hr

Though fig leaves keep the fish moist and make for a great presentation, it's also delicious without them. (Note that fig leaves are not edible.)

Cooks' note:

Chestnut mixture can be cooked 6 hours ahead, cooled completely, and chilled, covered. Reheat over low heat, stirring, before proceeding.
