Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 nectarines
4 pears
4 plums
8 heads Belgian endive
4 heads frisee
4 heads radicchio
6 ounces walnuts
6 ounces hazelnuts
Butter
12 ounces Maytag bleu cheese
Salt
Pepper
3 ounces sherry vinaigrette
3 ounces olive oil
6 ounces walnut oil
3 to 4 shallots, minced
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • In advance, split fruits in half, season and grill (if ripeness is an issue, finish by roasting).
  • Cut endive and frisee in half. Cut radicchio in quarters.
  • Toss nuts with melted butter, salt, and pepper, then lightly roast. Cool and crush by hand or with a rolling pin.
  • In a hot skillet or roasting pan drizzle lightly with olive oil, season the endive, frisee, and radicchio and roast them cut side down (you do want to color the endive).
  • Toss roasted endives with the vinaigrette. Arrange the lettuces and fruits on the plate, and garnish with nuts and cheese.
