Remarks
Kervallon is an area of the city of Brest (France), which in the late 18th century was a market garden where many vegetables were grown. Today, it's a very pleasant area, partly wooded, and home to numerous allotments.

If in step 8 you still can't obtain a homogeneous mixture after blending, add 2 tablespoons of cornflour diluted in a little cold water and thicken by whisking over the heat.
Keeping: 2 or 3 days in the fridge, in a closed container.

Bistro-style red endive salad
Have you tried red Belgian endives? They are similar in size to the more common white sort, just as crunchy, but slightly less bitter. They are the main feature in this salad inspired by French bistro cuisine: combined with chopped hard-boiled eggs, fried ham and croutons, in a rémoulade dressing.

In this recipe, a simple burger bun is hollowed out to hide a filling of fried potatoes and bacon in a pool of hot cancoillotte cheese. It is usual to eat the filling first, then the bread, still piping hot, with the remaining cheese. Children really love this!
