1 T water,boiling
1/2 c butter,hot but not brown
Put yolks, lemon juice and seasonings in blender. Heat butter and

mixture on high for about half a minute, then with blender still on
high, add boiling water and half of the butter, very slowly and in a
steady stream, then the rest of the butter can be added more quickly.

PREPARATION: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to
400F. With a small, sharp knife, slit the outer shell of each chestnut,
put them in a shallow baking pan, and roast until tender, 15 to 20
minutes. Peel off the outer shells and inner skins while still warm.
Reheat if the chestnuts cool and become difficult to peel. Peel and
thinly slice the onion and the shallots. Thinly slice the celery tops and
leaves (reserve ribs for another use). Julienne the prosciutto. Wrap
and refrigerate 2 tablespoons prosciutto for garnish.
COOKING: Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in an 8-quart soup kettle

of the chicken stock to a boil. Stir the hot chicken stock into the shallot
mixture along with the chestnuts, celery, fennel seeds, bay leaf, and

well and roast again for about 7 minutes more. When bread has taken
on a golden color, remove and salt and pepper to taste. Spread out on
