October 31st is Halloween, a moment to remember the ones who are not amongst alive people.
In Catalonia, as other important days, this night happens around a table. There are panellets (marzipan based sweets that I will tell about in another moment) and the Castanyada. The Castanyada is a meal where barbecued chesnuts are eaten with barbecued sweet potatoes.
All this, while drinking sweet wine, as Moscatell.
Personally, I wanted to cook a dish in wich both Castanyada elements, chestnuts and sweet potatoes, were together in only one: Rebuilt Chestnut Day (Castanyada).
To cook it, boil 650 g of sweet potato in three mugs of water and one of sugar. One
boiled, grind the sweet potato adding the water of boiling until having
the desired texture. Put a little bit of this preparation on a dish and
on it add some cooked chestnuts passed by caramel.
