Method
Mix the ingredients for the dressing together and season to taste.
Cook the chard in plenty of salted boiling water until cooked but still firm.
Drain well, squeezing out the excess liquid with a clean tea towel if necessary: it must not ooze water. Chop roughly and season with plenty of nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Cut the chestnuts into quarters and mix with the chard. Toss in the dressing, ensuring the chard is well coated, taste and adjust the seasoning and leave to cool.
Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
