Ingredients
- 250g pouch Wholegrain, Wild & Red Rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 Conference Pears, peeled, cored and quartered
- 2 bulb/s red chicory, leaves separated
- 2 bulb/s white chicory, leaves separated
- 200g pack feta
- 50g blanched hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
Dressing
- 1 lemon, juice
- 1½ tbsp clear honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Heat the rice according to the pack instructions. Meanwhile, put a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add the oil, then the pears. Brown for about 2 minutes, until slightly charred on each cut side. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and lightly toss through the rice and chicory. On a large platter, arrange the chicory leaves, rice and pears. Break up the feta, half into bigger chunks and half crumbled a little more finely. Toss through the salad, sprinkle over the hazelnuts and serve.
