Method

  1. Halve the chicory and steam for 6-8 minutes until tender. Arrange cut-side up in a shallow baking dish. Whisk the double cream, wholegrain mustard, a handful of chopped parsley and some salt and pepper together. Pour the mixture over the chicory and scatter over the grated gruyère cheese.
  2. Put the chicory under a medium grill and cook until it's golden and bubbling. Keep warm under a very low grill.

    Gorgeous! So simple. Great vegetarian main dish with mashed potatoes on the side. I use single cream.

    I also added courgette ribbons to the base, that made it even more extra good :-)
