2 tsp EV olive oil, 2 tsp white wine vinegar, 1 pinch salt, 1 dash freshly ground black pepper, 2 tsp Dijon mustard
Trim a tiny part of the end of each of the chicory heads off, leaving it intact. Halve all of them and sprinkle the salt all over.
4 small chicory heads, ¼ tsp salt
Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a frying pan or griddle and brown the cut halves of the chicory for about 1 minute each side. You want a slightly charred look. Take them out when done. You may have to do this in 2 batches. This can also be done on the bbq.
1 Tbsp EV olive oil
While the chicory is charring, core and slice the apples into thin wedges and rub all over with the lime or lemon juice. Set aside.
1 eating apple, 1 Tbsp lime or lemon juice
Break up the walnuts slightly, not too large, not too small. I do this with my hands.
30 g walnuts
Serve Up
Place the chicory heads on 2 plates, followed by the apples.
Scatter the walnuts all over.
Drizzle the dressing generously on both plates.
Finish off with the cheese, cress, chopped dill and some freshly ground black pepper.
30 g parmesan, 1 Tbsp freshly chopped dill, freshly ground black pepper, 2 Tbsp cress
