  7. Chop the chestnuts roughly and add them to the pan.
  8. Stir everything to combine.
  9. Transfer the mix to a medium greased bunt tin of choice – I used a silicone one as its easier to remove the nut roast.
  10. Press the mix down firmly into the bunt tin.

  12. Allow to cool then carefully flip onto a plate.
