Prep time
15 mins
Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
- Lemon Juice: 3 tbsp lemon juice
- Apple: 2 red-skinned apples
- Clear Honey: 1 tsp clear honey
- Pecan: 25g pecan
- Chicory: 2 chicory heads, separated into leaves
- Goat'S Cheese: 3 x 100g Capricorn goat's cheese, halved horizontally
- Cranberry Jelly: 2 tbsp cranberry jelly
- Radish Sprout: handful radish sprouts (available from larger supermarkets) or watercress
Directions
- Quarter, core, then thinly slice the apple into a bowl with the lemon juice and 1 tbsp water. Toss well, as this stops the apples going brown.
- Heat grill to high, then line your grill rack with foil. Put the cheeses rind-side down on the foil, then set aside for a moment.
- Drain 2 tbsp of the juice from the apple bowl into another small bowl and discard the rest. Add the cranberry sauce, oil and honey with some seasoning, and whisk to form a dressing. Grill the cheeses for 4 mins, then scatter the nuts on and around the cheeses and return to the grill to cook for a few mins more - but take care that the nuts don't burn.
- Arrange the apple, chicory and radish sprouts or watercress on 6 plates, then carefully top with the hot melted cheese. Scatter over the nuts, spoon over the dressing and serve straight away.
