ROASTED PEAR SALAD



Roasted Pear Salad image

You can roast just about any kind of pear, but for this recipe I prefer the smaller and harder Seckel pears. Once roasted, they'll soften and become surprisingly sweet and floral, a perfect contrast to the salty blue cheese and slightly bitter endive.

Provided by Food Network

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ripe pears, halved and cored
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pecan oil
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Creole mustard
1 shallot, minced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 heads Belgian endive, cored and leaves separated
2 handfuls mixed bitter green leaves
2 cups blue cheese, crumbled into chunks
1/2 cup pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • For the pears, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, drizzle the pears with the olive oil, sprinkle with the sugar and salt, and toss to coat well. Transfer the pears to a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  • For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, pecan oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the endive leaves and bitter greens in a large serving bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Wait until just before serving to top with the pears, blue cheese, and pecans.

HONEY-ROASTED PEAR SALAD WITH THYME AND VERJUS DRESSING



Honey-Roasted Pear Salad With Thyme and Verjus Dressing image

An elegant and sophisticated salad that makes good use of verjus (verjuice) in the dressing. I use a local blue cheese, such as Roquefort in this salad; however, please do use a local blue cheese of your choice - any creamy or robust blue cheese will marry well with the pears and tart dressing. Verjuice, or verjus, is the juice of unripe grapes. This staple of French provincial cooking, a key ingredient in Dijon mustard, has the tartness of lemon juice and the acidity of vinegar, but the harshness of neither. Its delicate flavour is ideal for everything from stocks to sweet syrups - as long as you know what you're doing. Verjus was also a common ingredient used in English cooking throughout the Middle Ages. I try to make a batch of verjus every year with the green grapes from my non-dessert grape vine - as I love cooking with it. This recipe came from an old copy of Bon Appetit magazine from 2005. Prep time includes the time it takes the pears to cool.
