So, watching Jamie's Christmas last night and off he goes making his 2002 squash and chestnut soup. "Mmmm" thinks I, even though I'd just polished off one of Pizza Italia's 16" Thin and Crispy ham, mushroom, double pepperoni and pineapple pizzas...
Mrs. Fod has been in a classroom all day, so I guessing she'd like something when she gets in that isn't "naughty". So off I go ... crush two tablespooons of coriander seeds with two hot dried chillies, rub them all over two massive halved butternut squashes and cover with olive oil before bunging in the oven at 200 degrees. Meanwhile, fry pre-cooked chestnuts, a large onion, pancetta and sage leaves in oil, then bung all that into a big pan, scoop out the squash (should be soft after about 25 minutes) , add that to the pan, cover with chicken stock and bring to the boil. He did a half and half , to get a "rustic" thickness to the soup, I couldn't be bothered, just whizzed it with the whizzer until it was all smooth and served... (as St. Jamie would say: "..luverly jubbly...") .. It was really nice and didn't need any seasoning either...
