Begin by removing the shells from the fresh chestnuts, or rinsing and soaking the dried chestnuts in a bowl of water (drain off the water before adding to the stuffing).

Place the 2 cups of water in a covered glass rice pot and bring to a boil on the stovetop.

While the water is heating, wash, peel, clean and dice the vegetables by hand or in a food processor, and place them in a large covered baking dish.

When the water boils, add the brown rice OR the 1/2 cup basmati rice and 1/2 cup wild rice, cover the pot, lower the heat to simmer and cook until all the water is absorbed into the rice.

Add the cloves and chestnuts to the veggies in the covered baking dish and mix well. Cover and cook until the ingredients are tender. Mix occasionally during the cooking process and add a little water if necessary to keep the vegetable from drying out.

When the rice is cooked, add to the veggies and chestnuts, cook until the flavors are blended (usually about 5 minutes). Mix again.
