This simple, wintry salad from Paul Foster blends and fuses the sour and salty flavour of Stilton with sharp chicory. Serve with anything from a pork pie to a beef burger, or if you prefer you can serve it on its own as a light starter.
Fill a pan with the water, sugar and vinegar and bring to the boil. Pour the liquid over the shallots and leave to cool
50ml of water

Cut the chicory into long slices. Crumble the stilton into a bowl, add the capers and rocket and dress with the drained shallots and rapeseed oil. Serve
