Herb salad on veal

Method

1. Pick over the herbs to remove any debris or discoloured ones. Place in a bowl.

2. Make the dressing by mixing the vinegar, shallots, mustard, chopped herbs, and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Add the oil and whisk until smooth.

3. Place the veal in a grill pan and brush with oil. Place under a preheated hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning, until browned and medium rare.

4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato slices in a single layer and season with freshly grated nutmeg. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel.

5. Layer the potatoes in the middle of a serving plate. Place the veal on top.

6. Pour enough of the dressing over the herb salad to just coat the leaves. Toss gently. Arrange a mound of salad on top of the veal.

7. Garnish with a chive and drizzle some of the dressing around the edge of the plate.
