Spicy Green Salad With Manchego And Pears Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut in one layer on a small baking sheet or toaster-oven tray and bake, tossing frequently, until the coconut is crunchy and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the shrimp paste, lime juice, chile and salt in a large bowl. Add the mango and toss (ideally with gloved hands) until it's well coated in the mixture. Season to taste with additional salt and lime juice, then sprinkle the coconut and fried shallots on top. Eat!

Steps:

• Heat the honey and rosemary in a small pan with 1 tbsp boiling water. Bring to a simmer and let it bubble for around 30 secs. Remove from the heat and allow to infuse.
• Heat a frying pan and drizzle in a little oil. Add the hazelnuts and toast until golden and starting to char a little here and there. Remove from the pan, allow to cool, then chop roughly to make a rustic crumb. Mix with the lemon zest and some seasoning.
• To make a dressing, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar with some seasoning. Toss the salad leaves in most of the dressing, then arrange on serving plates or a platter, layering the leaves with the pear slices. Top with shavings of manchego and the hazelnut crumb, then drizzle over some of the rosemary honey and the remaining dressing. Serve with prosciutto twists (see tip, below) for the meat-eaters.
