2 tablespoon Basic salad vinaigrette
100 g Mixed salad leaves; (3
1/2oz)
2 Sprigs chervil
2 teaspoon Fresh lobster 'coral';
(tomalley)
2 tablespoon Olive oil

FOR THE PROVENçAL SAUCE
One half Tomato; skinned and seeded
1 teaspoon Finely minced ; pitted black
olives
One half teaspoon Chopped fresh basil
One half teaspoon Chopped fresh tarragon
1 Squeeze fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground
black pepper
For the candied aubergine
Aubergine; ¥ideally about
5cm
; (2 inches) in
Sea salt to degorge
Caster sugar to d‚gorge
Olive oil for frying

To make the candied aubergine, cut 16 thin slices from the aubergine. Layer
the slices in a colander, sprinkling each layer lightly and evenly with sea
salt and caster sugar in equal proportions. Leave to d‚gorge for 15 minutes
so that any bitter juices are drawn out, leaving the slices limp. Pat the
slices dry in a clean tea towel.

In a large frying pan add enough olive oil to give a depth of 1cm (1/2
inch). Heat the oil to about 170øC/325øF and fry the slices until crisp but
not too brown. Drain on kitchen paper towels and set aside, keeping them
warm.

Prepare the mixed salad leaves. Pick off the leaves of the chervil and
incorporate these into the salad, set aside.

To make the procençal sauce, chop the skinned tomato into fine dice and mix
with the olives, basil, tarragon, lemon juice and seasoning. Transfer to a
small saucepan and heat until just warm but not hot.

Toss the langoustines in the lobster coral. Heat the oil until hot and fry
the langoustines for about 2 minutes, stirring until lightly cooked and
bright pink. Drain on kitchen paper towels.

Dress the mixed salad leaves with the vinaigrette and arrange in mounds in
the centre of each plate. Spoon the warm provençal sauce around the salad,
then place 8 langoustines on each plate, arranging them in a ring on top of
the sauce. Balance a candied aubergine slice on top of each langoustine and
serve immediately.
