Ingredients

  • 40g light brown soft sugar
  • 50g pecans
  • 4 Cooks' Ingredients Crispy Bacon Rashers, chopped
  • 50g No.1 Cave Aged Roquefort
  • 4 tbsp buttermilk
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise

Method

  1. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the sugar in a small, heavy-based pan with a pinch of salt and ½ tbsp water. Cook over a low heat, swirling the pan until the mixture is bubbling. Stir in the pecans and bacon, then tip onto the lined tray and set aside to cool.

  2. Put the cheese in a small bowl and mash into a rough paste. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice and chives. Stir, then season.

  3. Arrange the lettuce on a platter and drizzle with some dressing. Roughly chop the nuts and bacon, then scatter over with the remaining chives. Serve the rest of the dressing on the side.
