Red Wine Poached Pear and Chicory Salad
Nduja is a spreadable spicy salami. I have found delicious versions at Greenbush and sometimes at Sawyer Garden Center. Feel free to omit or replace with diced traditional salami.
Ingredients
4 pears
1 C red wine
1 head chicory green (radicchio, endive, or frisee)
2 oz ndjua
1/2 C olive oil
2 T red wine vinegar
2 T coco nibs
Method
- Peel the pears and cut in half scooping out the seeds and core
- Place the pears in a heavy bottomed pot and cover with the red wine
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the pears are tender
- Clean the endive and dry
- Saute the endive until tender
- Add the vinegar and olive oil at the end
- Lay the cooked endive out on a platter
- Slice the pears and top the endive
- Dot with ndjua
- Sprinkle with coconibs and serve
