ROAST PORK AND CHESTNUTS 

Ingredients: (Serves 4 / 5 people).  900g lean pork or fillet of pork, oil, butter, celery, garlic, carrot, 8 small (spring) onions, 20/25 chestnuts, half a glass of white wine, salt, pepper.

Recipe: Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil and a little butter in a pan and brown the meat. When browned, add the onions, two cloves of garlic, a carrot, two sticks of celery cut into small pieces and season. Cook and brown the vegetables for about 10 minutes. Add the wine and one small ladleful of hot water. Cover and simmer for half an hour or a little more. After this time add the peeled chestnuts.  If they are not already peeled, make a cut in the rounded part of the chestnuts and put them in the oven on a plate with a little water.  This makes peeling them easier.  When they come out of the oven, remove the peel and the fine skin and add the chestnuts to the meat.  Leave to cook for at least another three quarters of an hour, stirring occasionally.
