Luca,
This is a lovely dish, and if you realise that Corfu is only 55 km. from Bari Port via Ferry, the cuisine is quite a blend of Italian and Greek, as it is much closer to Italia than it is to the rest of Greece. The seasonings are so lovely and fragrant too. You can add Polenta, and do use Fine Grain for Pureé style and place the chestnuts and mushrooms on top of the Polenta Pureé with a drizzle of red wine sauce ... Yum. Also the coarse Polenta is better for the Corn Bread Grilled or Baked type. Ciao, my friend, Margi.
