Warm Pear and Couscous Salad with Beef

with goat's cheese and honey mustard dressing

Creamy goat's cheese pairs oh so well with the juicy sweetness of fruits like the pear. A satiating element comes in the form of couscous while toasted almonds add crunch and a subtle smokiness.

Cooking Steps

Toast the Almonds
1
  • Place a pan over medium heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, dry-fry the almonds, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside. 

TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily.

Cook the Couscous
2
  • Pour the couscous and stock into a bowl.
  • Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml).
  • Cover with a plate or cling film. Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Char the Pear
3
  • Halve and core the pear. Thinly slice lengthways.
  • Once the almonds are toasted, return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the pear and fry until caramelised and charred, 2-3 mins each side. 
  • Meanwhile, roughly tomato. Trim and roughly chop the cucumber.
  • Halve, peel and roughly chop the shallot. Pick the mint leaves and roughly chop.

NOTE: Adding beef rump? Add to the hot pan, season as instructed and fry until cooked to your liking, 1-6 mins on each side.

Assemble and Serve
4
  • Toss the couscous with the mint, cucumber, shallot, tomatoes, paprika, honey mustard dressing and one-third of the goat's cheese
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide between bowls and serve topped with toasted almonds and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese.
  • Arrange the charred pear on top of each salad.
