In winter times we sometimes need soulfood which is not only rich in flavours but also warming our heart🧡
Here in Galicia there are so many chestnut trees that we could collect a lot for the colder days and we want to share our favourite recipe with you⭐️It‘s silky & smooth with earthy & nutty notes from the chestnut⭐️
Servings: 2 hungry ones as main course / or as appetizer for 4.

200 ml soy or oat cream
50 ml white wine
3 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
