It's believed that pears originated in the Caucasus before spreading to Europe more than 4000 years ago! The ancient Greeks valued this fruit for not only its flavour, but also its perceived health benefits.

Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 210°C.
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and give them a 1cm dice. Slice the courgette into crescents.
Transfer the courgette to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
Roast in the oven for 20 - 22 minutes or until done.

Transfer the potatoes to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
Roast in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden-brown, tossing halfway.
Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat and toast the walnuts until golden-brown.
Core the pear and cut it into wedges.

Melt the butter in the same pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the pear for 8 - 16 minutes, or until soft and golden-brown, then deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
Meanwhile, chop the onion (see Tip).

Tip: if you don't like raw onion, fry it with the pear.

Transfer the courgette and the lettuce to a salad bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
Add the white wine vinegar and the onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss well to combine.
Serve the potatoes with the salad alongside.
Top the salad with the pear, then garnish with the blue cheese and the toasted walnuts.
