    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
    2. Heat the oil in a small frying pan and cook the garlic, shallot and celery together for 5 mins over medium heat until beginning to soften. Add the dried sage and season with salt and black pepper.
    3. Meanwhile, put the drained chickpeas into a food processor, along with the Maderia and vegetable stock and process until very finely chopped, almost a paste.
    4. Add the vegetables from the frying pan and the pack of cooked chestnuts and pulse until the chestnuts are roughly chopped.
    5. Add the breadcrumbs and sundried tomatoes and pulse a few times to combine.
    6. Tip the mixture into a baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 mins before rotating the dish and cooking for another 5-10 mins until the top is well browned.
