Ingredients
1 kg chestnuts
20 thin slices jamon or prosciutto
Instructions
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.
