    1 butternut squash, about 1kg, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
    thyme, 3 sprigs
    olive oil
    250g whole cooked chestnuts
    1 tsp golden caster sugar
    4 tbsp white wine vinegar
    1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
    2 shallots, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    
    

    Heat the oven 160C. Toss the squash and thyme with 2 tbsp olive oil and season. Tip into a roasting tin and cook for 30 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the cooked chestnuts and cook for another 15 minutes.

    Dissolve the vinegar with the sugar in a small pan. When ready to serve tip the sweet and sour liquid over the squash and chestnuts and sprinkle over the chopped parsley, shallots and garlic to finish.
