Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup walnuts
3 tbsp sherry wine vinegar
1 nashi pear, cored, quartered and finely sliced
1/2 cup arugula ( rocket)
extra virgin olive oil
cracked pepper
50 -75 g blue cheese, crumbled (such as castello)

Directions:

In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the walnuts and cook for 5 minutes or until they have caramelised. Add the sherry vinegar and remove from the heat. Pour onto a tray lined with baking paper and let the walnut sauce cool down.
Place the pears in a bowl with the rocket and a good amount of olive oil to coat the leaves and pears. Add cracked pepper and mix thoroughly with your hands to combine.
Onto a serving plate, pile the rocket & pears, top with the crumbled blue cheese. Add the walnuts and drizzle the salad with the sherry syrup. Serve immediately.
