ROASTED PEARS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel the pears and slice them lengthwise into halves. With a small sharp paring knife and a melon baller, remove the core and seeds from each pear, leaving a round well for the filling. Trim a small slice away from the rounded sides of each pear half so that they will sit in the baking dish without wobbling. Toss the pears with some lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. Arrange them, core side up, in a baking dish large enough to hold the pears snugly.
• Gently toss the crumbled blue cheese, dried cranberries, and walnuts together in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the pears, mounding it on top of the indentation.
• In the same small bowl, combine the apple cider, port, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture over and around the pears. Bake the pears, basting occasionally with the cider mixture, for 30 minutes, or until tender. Set aside until warm or at room temperature.
• Just before serving, whisk together the olive oil, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of the basting liquid in a large bowl. Divide the arugula among 6 plates and top each with a pear half. Drizzle each pear with some of the basting liquid, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

ROASTED PEAR AND BLUE CHEESE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Sprinkle breadcrumbs into the greased baking dish, turning to coat the inside. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
• Put all the pear slices in a frying pan over a high heat with 25g of the butter, the sugar, a splash of water and the thyme. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat slightly and cook for 15-20 minutes or until soft and caramelised. Season with smoked (or ordinary) salt and ground black pepper. Set aside to cool a little.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a pan. When it foams, stir in the flour and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring with a spatula, until it smells biscuity. Take the pan off the heat and beat in the warm milk until smooth. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring until smooth and thick.
• Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the egg yolks and half the blue cheese. Put half the pears (a mix of peeled and unpeeled) in the prepared dish.
• In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric hand mixer until they hold medium-stiff peaks. Mix 1 tbsp of the egg white into the egg yolk mixture to loosen it, then gently but briskly fold in the remainder using a metal spoon. Pour into the dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed up but with a slight wobble.
• Meanwhile, toss the salad ingredients with the remaining pears. Whisk the dressing ingredients, drizzle over the salad and season with black pepper.
• Serve the soufflé immediately, sprinkled with the extra thyme, along with the salad and some crusty bread if you like.
