We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Using a small sharp knife, cut a cross into the flat-side of each of the chestnuts. Place chestnuts (cut-side up) on a baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the shells split open. Transfer to a clean tea towel, wrap and stand for 4-5 minutes until cool enough to remove chestnuts from shells & set the chestnuts aside.

  • Step 2: Heat the butter and oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring often so as not to stick, approx.: 4-5 minutes until golden. Toss through chestnuts and cook for 2 minutes. Add marsala or wine and cook until evaporated.

  • Step 3: Reduce heat and stir in the cream, mustard and thyme & gently simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Step 4: Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
