Red pears are first choice here, but any ripe, firm pears would be delicious. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
3 large shallots, chopped |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
3 tablespoons canned vegetable broth |
1 head butter lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces |
1 large bunch watercress, trimmed |
2 ripe but firm pears, cored, sliced |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Mix in lemon juice and broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Toss lettuce, watercress and warm dressing in large bowl. Divide greens among 6 plates. Arrange pear slices in spoke pattern on greens, dividing equally. Sprinkle with walnuts and cheese.
