Ingredients
Method
- 100g French goat’s cheese round
- 1 pear
- Handful of broken pecan nuts
- 80g watercress salad
- Olive oil
- For the Dressing
- 1 tbsp cranberry or redcurrant sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Preheat the grill to high. Halve the cheese to make 2 discs, then halve and core the pear and cut each half into slices. Arrange the slices into 2 piles on a lined baking tray, brush with olive oil and top each pile with a disc of cheese, cut-side up. Grill for a couple of minutes or until golden and bubbling. Scatter with the pecan pieces and grill for another minute.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and cranberry sauce, and season well. Arrange the watercress salad on 2 plates, place the pear and cheese piles on top, then spoon over the dressing and serve with crusty bread. Yum!
