   Let's start with the chestnut paste. Pour water into a pot, add 610g peeled chestnuts, and cook. Let cool slightly.

2. 02

   In a food processor, combine the chestnuts from step 1, 300ml water, 200g xylose sugar, and 1T honey, and blend until smooth.

3. 03

   Pour the chestnut puree from step 2 into a pot and cook over low heat, stirring.

   Once it reaches the texture you want, pass it through a sieve, pressing with a spatula. Mix in the hemp seeds. The smooth chestnut paste is done.

   Microwave the baguette along with a small bowl of water for 10 seconds, twice.

   Split the baguette in half. Spread butter on one side and chestnut paste on the other. Lightly toast the walnuts in a pan and top with them.
