Filling
5 leeks, well rinsed and sliced into 3/4-inch chunks (white and light green parts)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 large garnet yams, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (or two 10-ounce bags frozen chopped sweet potato)
1 1-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup roasted chestnuts (or one 7-ounce jar roasted chestnuts, drained)
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
