Clean the squid and cut the bodies into evenly sized 1/2cm ringlets. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the lemon juice. Drop the squid in for 30 seconds, strain and refresh in ice cold water. Remove from the water and store in the fridge until required

For the 'nduja balls, mix the shallots with the 'nduja and sausage meat. Add the breadcrumbs, mix well and form into 20g balls Place a frying pan over a medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil. Fry the balls until golden brown on all sides, remove from the pan, season with salt and allow to rest

For the croutons, cut or tear the sourdough into bitesize chunks. Mix with the olive oil, season with salt and place into a preheated oven set to 180˚C/gas mark 4 for 10-12 minutes until crunchy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and store in a warm place

For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, salt and oil in a bowl, or container with lid. Whisk or shake until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly

To prepare the salad, pick out the bright green frisée leaves and combine in a bowl with the sliced spring onion, picked chervil leaves and pea shoots. Just before serving, add the croutons and dress to taste

Pan-fry the squid in a very hot pan with olive oil for 10-15 seconds, remove. Reheat the 'nduja in the same pan. Serve the hot squid and 'nduja on the dressed salad with some dollops of créme frâiche to finish
