Vegetable nage
4 200 g; (7 oz) salmon
; escalopes
2 Red peppers
A sprig each of tarragon;
chervil, basil and
; thyme
2 Yellow peppers
60 g Butter; (2 One half oz)
6 Shallots
1 Bay leaf
3 tablespoon Noilly Prat
1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
4 md Heads chicory
100 g Caster sugar; (4 oz)
Sea salt and lemon juice

Have ready the Vegetable Nage and set aside. Heat onethird of the butter
in a medium saucepan and gently sweat the peppers and shallots with the
herb sprigs and the bay leaf for about 10 minutes or until softened.

Stir in the Noilly Prat and cook uncovered until reduced down to about 1
tbsp of glaze. Add the vinegar and about 150ml of the Vegetable Nage.
Simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until softened. Remove and discard
the herbs; set aside.

Preheat the oven to 180øC/350øF/gas mark 4. Core the chicory heads
carefully with a small, sharp knife and roll in the sugar.

Heat another third of the butter in a heavybased frying pan with heatproof
or removable handles suitable for the oven. Add the heads of chicory and
cook until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Pour over the remaining
stock so that it half covers the chicory then transfer to the oven and cook
for about 9 minutes or until the chicory is just tender.

Raise the oven setting to 200øC/400øF/gas mark 6. Place the salmon
escalopes in a lightly greased pan or ovenproof dish and roast in the oven
for about 10 minutes until pink and just firm.

To serve, reheat the sauce gently and whisk in the last of the butter.
Reheat the chicory if necessary. Season the salmon to taste with salt and
lemon juice, then arrange with the chicory on warmed plates and pour the
sauce around. Serve immmediately.
