How it's done

Sugared almonds

Place the almonds, sugar and water in a wide stainless steel pan, bring to the boil without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer for approx. 4 mins. over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the water has evaporated and the sugar is dry. Continue to stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts again and coats the almonds, making them shine (approx. 4 mins.), season with salt. Spread the almonds on a sheet of baking paper, leave to cool. Coarsely chop the almonds.

Dressing

In a bowl, mix the vinegar with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt.

Lettuce

In a bowl, mix the lettuce with the oil, then season. Fry the lettuce in a non-stick frying pan for approx. 1 min. on each side, remove, plate up. Drizzle with the dressing and scatter the sugared almonds on top.
