Pear and Blue Cheese with Bitter Salad Greens
Method
- Roast the walnuts in the oven for about 5 minutes at 160C (I do them as the oven is reaching temp)
- Heat the oven to 250C
- Halve and core the pears, then slice into 1/8th or so (4 from each half)
- Heat butter and honey in the roasting dish for one minute then add the pears and toss
- Lay them out in a single layer, make sure that there is one surface side down of each slice
- Cook for about 10 on one side, then 5 minutes on the next
- Remove and cool
- In the serving bowl mix the oil, vinegar and salt
- Pile on the greens, then crumble over the cheese, add the pears and then toss it just as you are about to serve
- Top with walnuts
