ARUGULA WITH ROASTED PEARS AND GOAT CHEESE



Arugula with Roasted Pears and Goat Cheese image

Not that long ago, for most of America, "cheese" meant pre-sliced singles wrapped in plastic, or insipidly flavored orange wheels produced in America's heartland. Any cheeses considered "gourmet" were imported from Europe. Fortunately, artisanal cheesemaking is now thriving all over the country, including the South. I love the fresh goat cheese from the Wehner family's Green Hill Dairy and Sweet Grass Dairy in Thomasville, Georgia. Their cows and goats roam freely in the woods and graze in lush, green pastures. This idyllic existence, the family maintains, makes them so content that they produce the most delicious milk, which, in turn, makes the best cheese. Sweet, roasted Bosc pears, tender baby arugula, and mild creamy goat cheese make this simple, elegant salad sing.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 or 3 firm Bosc pears, halved lengthwise and cored
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 cups baby arugula (about 4 ounces)
1 tablespoon sherry or balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey (preferably tupelo, orange blossom, or sweet clover)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush a baking sheet with some of the melted butter.
  • To roast the pears, arrange the pear halves, cut sides down, on the buttered sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until just tender to the point of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To dress the greens, place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine and coat.
  • To serve, divide the greens among 4 to 6 individual serving plates. Top each with a warm roasted pear half, cut side up. Place a spoonful of goat cheese on each pear. Drizzle with honey. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
  • Bosc pears are the archetypical pear, with an elongated neck and round, bell-shaped bottom. Their firm, sweet flesh is suitable for fresh eating, salads, and cooking. They are harvested in the fall. Look for firm fruit with a golden bronze color.

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup warm water, plus 2 tablespoons
1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
6 cups fresh arugula
2 medium peaches, thinly sliced
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, all-purpose and whole wheat flours, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until well-combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour, then turn the dough out and knead for 1-2 minutes to smooth and encourage gluten development. Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Drizzle the olive oil in the bowl. Add the dough and turn to coat in the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the balsamic vinegar, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 25 minutes more, until the onions are tender and caramelized. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Punch down the dough, then divide into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece to an 8-inch (20 cm) round, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush each side of the dough lightly with olive oil. One at a time, grill each flatbread for about 4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the dough is cooked through.
  • Add the arugula to a medium bowl, along with the caramelized onions, remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Toss well.
  • Top each flatbread with some of the arugula mixture, 6 peach slices, and 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears for roasting. This will ensure that they hold their shape and don't become mushy.
  • To prevent the pears from browning, toss them in a mixture of lemon juice and water before roasting.
  • Roast the pears until they are tender but still hold their shape. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of the pears.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese for the salad. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Add the arugula to the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent it from wilting.
  • Drizzle the salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This will add a tangy, sweet flavor to the dish.

Arugula with Roasted Pears and Goat Cheese is a delicious and elegant salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
