Ingredients

1 cos lettuce

6 rasherscooked streaky bacon

1, cooked chicken breast

a small handful chives

4 anchovies

a squirt mayonnaise

3 slicesseeded sourdough, sliced

to taste parmesan, finely grated

But that doesn't quite capture why this works - it straddles a delicious line between dip and salad, like some chopped salsa or even Turkey's esme salad.

Method

Usually we hate recommending a kitchen gadget, but this recipe is made more fun by using one of those veg chopping boxes. That said, you could just as easily make it by using a knife to chop everything up really small.

Basically, finely chop the ingredients then mix everything together in a bowl - test for seasoning, you might want to add a squeeze of lemon or salt at this stage.

Heat some oil in a frying pan and toast the slices of bread until a deep burnished gold and crisp. Spoon the mixture on top and grate parmesan on top of this.
