Making the gorgonzola pear salad — 5 minutes
Break up the little gem salad into parts and place on a plate or into a nice big bowl. Crush the walnuts and sprinkle the crushed walnuts onto the little gem salad. Crumble the gorgonzola cheese and divide onto the salad.
Put the skillet on a medium high fire, add in a few tablespoons of sunflower oil. When the oil gets hot enough add in the fanned pears. Bake the pears for a short while and serve lukewarm. Share half a pear each per person, or more if you want !
