The queen of Christmas shares five no-recipe recipes for seasonal gratification
I fear I am becoming a selfish cook, and yet I remain, compulsively, a feeder. Luckily, as a food writer, I find this less jarring a conflict than I might otherwise. In other words, as I tell you about the simple, solo, seasonal-ish treats I’m planning for my own greedy gratification, imagine I’m lunging forward at the table, loaded fork in hand, imploring you to try a bite as well. Food does not need to be complicated to taste good. This is an eternal truth.
Pour a very little olive oil into a pan and heat, then tumble in some pancetta cubes . When they’re crisp and bronzed and have yielded their gorgeous salty fat, add some vacuum-packed chestnuts to the pan and stir. It won’t matter if some of the chestnuts break a bit. Then switch off the heat and, with a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the pancetta and chestnuts, and transfer to the waiting leaves.
