Summer salad


Pre-heat the grill. Put 6 (unpeelded) shallots under a very hot grill for 20 mins, turn halfway. Then slice open lengthwise and scoop out the soft center. Keep warm.

Halve 8 baby potatoes (unpeeled) and boil for 20 mins in salted water.

Warm 50 cl olive oil, then add 1 tbsp mustard seeds, let them pop like popcorn, for a minute, then take the pan from the heat and whisk in 1 tbsp Dyon mustard, 1 tbsp brown sugar and 20 ml red wine vinegar 

Once the potatoes are done, mix them with half the dressing, then add the shallots, 1/2 tbsp hacked parsley, 1/2 tbsp hacked dill and 1/2 tbsp hacked chives.

Put some nice mesclun leaves on a plate, followed by the potatoes, shallots and herbs.

Then crumble 70g Stilton over the salad and finish with some edible flowers.

Eventually add more dressing
