ROASTED PEARS WITH BLUE CHEESE



Roasted Pears with Blue Cheese image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ripe but firm Anjou pears
Freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
3 ounces coarsely crumbled sharp blue cheese such as Stilton
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup walnut halves, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider
3 tablespoons port
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/4 cup good olive oil
6 ounces baby arugula
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel the pears and slice them lengthwise into halves. With a small sharp paring knife and a melon baller, remove the core and seeds from each pear, leaving a round well for the filling. Trim a small slice away from the rounded sides of each pear half so that they will sit in the baking dish without wobbling. Toss the pears with some lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. Arrange them, core side up, in a baking dish large enough to hold the pears snugly.
  • Gently toss the crumbled blue cheese, dried cranberries, and walnuts together in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the pears, mounding it on top of the indentation.
  • In the same small bowl, combine the apple cider, port, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture over and around the pears. Bake the pears, basting occasionally with the cider mixture, for 30 minutes, or until tender. Set aside until warm or at room temperature.
  • Just before serving, whisk together the olive oil, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the basting liquid in a large bowl. Divide the arugula among 6 plates and top each with a pear half. Drizzle each pear with some of the basting liquid, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

PEAR, DATE & WALNUT SALAD WITH CREAMY STILTON DRESSING



Pear, date & walnut salad with creamy stilton dressing image

Gary Rhodes' perfect starter for a Boxing day lunch, made with lots of leftovers from the day before

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Lunch, Starter

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ripe pears , quartered and cored, peel left on
juice 1 lime
100g crème fraîche
300g stilton , crumbled, room temperature
1-2 tbsp ginger syrup (from a jar of ginger in syrup)
100g pack broken walnuts
12 dates (Medjool are good), stoned and chopped
walnut oil , for drizzling
225g bag mixed salad leaves
1 large watercress , divided into sprigs

Steps:

  • Cut the pear quarters into thin slices and toss in a bowl with the lime juice to help protect their natural colour. Blend the crème fraîche with half the stilton, ginger syrup to taste, and enough water (3-4 tbsp) to give a smooth, thick coating consistency. (Don't add too much water or it may separate.)
  • Scatter the pear slices over six serving plates and follow with the walnuts, dates and remaining cheese. Can be prepared to this stage up to an hour ahead.
  • Drizzle each salad with a little of the dressing and some walnut oil. Season with a grinding of pepper - you shouldn't need salt, as the cheese is salty. Mix the salad leaves and watercress very lightly with just a bit more dressing - some leaves should be touched by the dressing, some untouched. Gently pile the leaves on top of each salad.

  • To toast the walnuts, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
