When chestnuts are in season we make the most of them by wrapping the roasted nuts in a thin slice of jamon or prosciutto. The combination of the salty, air dried ham and tender chestnut is a sensational start to a good meal.

Ingredients

1 kg chestnuts
20 thin slices jamon or prosciutto

Preparation

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Using a small knife, cut a large cross into the skin of each chestnut. Line a baking dish with newspaper, place the chestnuts inside it and fold the paper over to form a parcel

Bake for 20 minutes or until tender, and remove the chestnuts from the oven. Keep them wrapped up until ready to serve as this helps to soften the skins, making them easier to peel.

Peel the chestnuts then wrap each one in a slice of jamon or prosciutto and serve with a glass of dry sherry.

Glossary

Thick Caramel Sauce

Thick Caramel Sauce is even more viscous than dark soy, this is used to add a depth of colour and flavour to many dishes. Surprisingly, despite its name, it is not sweet.
