Rocket Sliced Pear Salad With Caramelized Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

Steps:

• Cut each pear into 8 wedges, removing the core and stem.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add sugar and pears, stirring gently.
• Cook until lightly brown, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove to plates and drizzle each pear with several drops of balsamic vinegar.
• Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the butter, vinegar and sugar in a frying pan over medium heat.
• When butter is melted add the pear and walnuts and cook for 4-6 minutes until the pear is just soft.
• Place the rocket on serving plates and top with the pear and walnuts.
• Spoon over the pan juices and top with the blue cheese.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, arugula, and alfalfa sprouts; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Sprinkle pear slices with a little lemon juice and arrange over rocket on a medium sized platter.
• Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with the caramelized balsamic vinegar.
• Serve immediately with ground black pepper.
• To caramelize balsamic vinegar, simply reduce a 500 ml bottle of Balsamic Vinegar down to about 150 ml (2/3 cup) over high heat for approx 15 minutes - it will keep for several weeks in the pantry or you can caramelize less to use for this salad only.
