Method

Step 1

Blanch the sprouts and greens in boiling salted water, but try to keep their bright green colour. Refresh in very cold water.

Heat a knob of butter in a large wide pan and cook the pancetta until it’s crisp and golden. Add the shallots and cook until softened and golden, then stir in the chestnuts and cook for a minute. Toss in the greens until heated through.
