Broad Bean and Quinoa Salad

I LOVE broad beans. And this is my favourite salad right now.

Gorgonzola and poached pear salad with toasted seeds

Pears are beautiful at the moment. My favourite variety is Packham’s Triumph – firm but deliciously juicy with just the right amount of crunch, which makes them great for eating and for cooking. Pear and gorgonzola is a classic combination. For this recipe I’ve poached the pears in a red wine syrup and scattered them over fresh rocket leaves with creamy gorgonzola and toasted seeds.
