Asian Pear & Cabrales Salad with Fig & Port Dressing

Scott Phillips

Servings:six.

Instead of ending a meal with a plate of fruit and cheese, serve this elegant winter salad made with crunchy, juicy Asian pears and Cabrales, a sheep-and-cow’s milk blue cheese from Spain. The long burgundy-streaked spears of radicchio di Treviso are very similar to red Belgian endive, which makes a good substitute.

Ingredients

  • 3博士ied figs, preferably Black Mission
  • 1/2 cup ruby port
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 Tbs. grapeseed oil, or another neutral salad oil
  • 2 Tbs. cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbs. finely chopped shallots
  • 2 heads Belgian endive
  • 1 head radicchio di Treviso, common red radicchio, or red Belgian endive
  • 1 large Asian pear or barely ripe Bosc or Anjou pear
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2磅。卡布拉尔,切成6片

Preparation

  • Trim the stems from the figs and discard. Cut each fig into 6 to 8 pieces. In a small saucepan, heat the port until hot to the touch, remove from the heat, and add the figs. Let the figs soak in the port until softened, about 2 hours. Put the figs and port in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pushing on the solids with a spatula; discard the solids. Stir enough water (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) into the purée to thin it to a dressing consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and shallots. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Cut the endive and radicchio into 1-inch wide strips, discarding the hard cores. (It isn’t usually necessary to wash these salad greens.)
  • Remove the core from the pear, cut into thin wedges, and toss with lemon juice. Toss the endive, radicchio, and pears with the cider vinaigrette. Divide among six salad plates. Drizzle the fig and port dressing over the salads. Top each salad with a slice of Cabrales and serve immediately.
