Join us and think about pears! They really are the forgotten but not at all forbidden wonder fruit!

Here is a very simple recipe to start you off eating pears...

TOASTED WALNUT BREAD WITH A SALSA OF PEAR,
STILTON AND FRESH CHIVES

Serves Four

4 thick slices of a good quality walnut sourdough
120g Stilton cheese, crumbled
2 D’anjou (red skinned) pears washed, cored and diced
¼ of a small Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil
½ bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

For the salsa, place the Stilton, pear, onion and chives into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and season. Toss lightly and set aside until required.

For the toast, brush the bread with olive oil. Toast each side under a grill until lightly golden.

To serve, place one slice of walnut bread on each plate, top with a generous serve of the salsa and serve at room temperature.
