Method


  1. Heat a griddle pan until smoking. Add the pear quarters and griddle on both sides for one minute to create grill lines, then remove from the heat and set aside.

  2. For the pesto, place the spinach, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor and blend together. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and transfer to a serving bowl.

  3. For the salad, place the parsley, chervil, chives and tomatoes in a large bowl. Mix well and drizzle with the spinach pesto.

  4. Serve in a bowl with the Stilton crumbled over and the pear quarters placed around.
