Ingredients
For honey roasted cashews
- 50 grams raw cashew nuts (about ⅓ cup, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- kosher salt
For endives
- 2 endives (quartered)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoons honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (halve if using regular salt)
- ground black pepper
For salad
- 25 grams gorgonzola
- flat-leaf parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- To make the honey roasted cashews, prepare a silicone mat, or a piece of parchment paper.
- Add the chopped cashews to a pan, along with the honey, and roast over medium heat until the nuts are medium brown, and the honey has reached a dark brown. You can do this step over a grill if you like.
- Immediately turn the nuts out onto the silicone mat and sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt.
- For the endives, use paper towels to make sure the quartered pieces are very dry, and then line them up in a tray, cut-side up.
- Make the sauce by mixing together the olive oil, sherry vinegar, and honey. This is easiest to do in a small plastic squeeze bottle, so you can just shake it and squeeze the dressing over the endives. Drizzle the sauce over the endives and the sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Heat your grill or broiler until hot, then place the endives on the grill, cut-side up. Grill 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear on the bottom, then flip the endives over and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the endive are lightly charred.
- Return the grilled endives to the tray and drizzle with a little more olive oil. To plate the salad, pile the endive wedges into a tepee and sprinkle with crumbled Gorgonzola, the honey roasted cashews and some parsley leaves. Finish with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
