Roquefort And Walnut Sauce Recipes

CHICORY-ENDIVE ROQUEFORT AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• To make the dressing whisk the two oils, mustard, vinegar, sugar & lemon juice together well.
• Season well with freshly ground black pepper & a touch of salt, the blue cheese is quite salty already.
• Keep the dressing at room temperature until serving. The dressing can be made up to 1 week ahead of time.
• To toast the walnuts, heat up a roomy frying pan over a high heat & add the walnuts. Pan-toast them for about 5-10 minutes, stirring around constantly until they are a deep golden colour but NOT dark brown or burnt! (You must keep an eye on them at all times.).
• Take off the heat & cool.
• Wash or wipe the chicory heads and cut 1" to 2" off the base of each one.
• Separate the leaves gently and wash again if necessary.
• Place the leaves into an attractive flat dish or on to a serving platter.
• Crumble over the blue cheese & pour over the dressing.
• Scatter the toasted walnuts over the top & serve immediately with crusty bread.
