Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 cooking pears
  • 125mL red wine
  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • 120g rocket
  • 50g parmesan
  • Dijon Dressing
  • 60mL olive oil
  • 20mL red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Pinch sea salt

Method


  • Peel the pears, remove the core and cut into quarters. Place them in a small pot and add the red wine. Cover and simmer for 5–7 mins or until they are just starting to soften.
  • Meanwhile toast the hazelnuts under a low grill, tossing regularly until they are just golden brown and the skins fall away. Place them in a tea towel and rub to loosen the black skins from them. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the rocket into a serving bowl.
  • Once the pears are cooked, remove from the pot and allow to cool fully. Slice and arrange on the rocket with the hazelnuts and parmesan.
  • To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small jar until well combined.
  • Dress the salad immediately before serving.
