For the ginger jelly, put 50 ml of water, the ginger, stock granules, and salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.

Transfer it to a plastic container, and add the dissolved gelatin while still hot. Leave it to harden for 2 hours and then break it up with a fork.

Prepare the vegetables Prepare some ice water and a sieve. Soak the washed chicory.

Cut the other vegetables small enough to fit on top of the chicory "boat".
