Ingredients

  • Parmesan cheese
  • 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 100g vacuum-packed prepared chestnuts
  • 70g cubed pancetta
  • 200ml chicken stock

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Scoop the seeds from a 1½kg pumpkin and cut it into 3cm-thick wedges. Arrange in a large baking dish. Pour over 200ml chicken stock and scatter 70g cubed pancetta, 100g vacuum-packed prepared chestnuts and 5 sprigs of fresh thyme.
