Ingredients
- 4 large chicory heads, sliced down the middle and fanned open like a book
- 275g cooked stuffing
- 2 onions, thickly sliced
- 1 tbsp light olive oil
- 2 pears, thinly sliced
- 3 celery sticks, sliced
- 150g lettuce, such as romaine or little gem
- Large handful fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
- 50g nuts (we used pecans but almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts all work well)
- 40g dried fruit (we used flame raisins but prunes, sultanas or currants also work well)
- 3 tbsp good-quality shop-bought vinaigrette
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the chicory in the middle of a roasting tin and fill with the stuffing (see tip). Add the onions and season, then drizzle with the oil and roast for 25 minutes.
- Put the pears, celery, lettuce, parsley, nuts and dried fruit in a serving dish, then toss gently with the vinaigrette. Top with the chicory and onions to serve.

Use whatever leftover stuffing you have for this recipe. Try swapping chicory for fennel bulbs – just use half a bulb in place of each chicory head.
