**The Dutch Produce Association has launched a competition with a £5,000 top prize
for a charity, school or college, and second and third prizes of £1,000 and £500.
To enter you need to submit a new recipe using chicory.**

Popular in European cuisine, chicory is little known and little used in UK kitchens.
Yet is a versatile vegetable which can be used raw in salads or cooked in a wide
variety of dishes.

The Chicory Challenge aims to draw attention to chicory’s potential and inspire 
English cooks to create some great new chicory recipes.
