Steps

  • Combine shallots, parsley, chillies, oregano, chives, vinegar, olive oil, Tabasco, and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Preheat the grill to a medium-high setting.
  • Fry the poussins and lemon halves in a hot ovenproof griddle pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  • Grill the poussins for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and squeeze the roasted lemons over them.
  • Mix celery, walnuts, stilton, parsley, and celery leaves in a separate bowl for the salad.
  • Whisk together crème fraîche, honey, vinegar, and mayonnaise until the dressing is smooth.
  • Toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the ingredients evenly.
  • Serve the poussin drizzled with sauce alongside the walnut salad.
