For the pears, preheat the oven to 425°. In a small bowl, drizzle the pears with the olive oil, sprinkle with the sugar and salt, and toss to coat well. Transfer the pears to a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the pepper jelly, the red wine vinegar, the sambal chile paste and the canola oil. Whisk until well mixed.
To assemble the salad, combine the endive leaves and bitter greens in a large serving bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Wait until just before serving to top with the pears, blue cheese, and pecans.
Makes 8 servings.
*“You can roast just about any kind of pear, but for this recipe I
prefer the smaller and harder Seckel pears. Once roasted, they’ll
soften and become surprisingly sweet and floral, a perfect
contrast to the salty blue cheese and slightly bitter endive,” says
Chef Besh.
