Killer Salad Recipes

Pea shoots are in season, and boy are they tasty. Right now Sainsburys and Marks and Spencer are selling UK grown pea shoots in 50g bags, washed and ready to eat, for under a quid. They have a delicate pea flavour and are a great ingredient for salads. Today I used them in a delicious warm salad along with pears, walnuts and stilton cheese.

To begin with peel the pears, I used approx 2 comice pears per person. Use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh of the pears, and add to it about one handful, per person, of walnuts. You could just chop the pears if you wish. Fry the pear balls and walnuts in butter for a few minutes, just enough to warm them through and the pears begin to colour.

Place half a bag of pea shoots, per person, on a plate and top with the pear balls and walnuts.

Garnish with a sprinkling of Stilton Cheese, to taste.

This salad is so easy to make and tastes really good. It was the first time I had made this for my family and everyone wants it again.
