Seared salmon with tarragon red wine sauce and braised chicory
Seared salmon with tarragon red wine sauce and braised chicory
Chef William Drabble heads up the kitchen at Seven Park Place at St James's Hotel. He says: 'This is a fairly simple dish which is tasty but not too time-consuming to make. It’s quite light as far as Christmas food goes, which makes a great alternative to the usual Christmas fare. My mother-in-law was from Belgium and at Christmas we would always have chicory (or endive) slow-cooked with bacon, so this brings back fond memories of sitting around having family meals with loved ones.’
