Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Heat a little of the olive oil in a small frying pan and toast the brazils until golden, tossing every now and then. Set aside to cool.
- Put the jerusalem artichokes in a large roasting tin and toss with the quartered pears (reserving 4 pear quarters), sage leaves, balsamic vinegar, 4 tbsp oil and sea salt. Roast for 45 minutes, shaking thepan halfway through, until the jerusalem artichokes are lightly golden and chewy. Remove from the oven, squeeze over the lemon juice and leave to cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted jerusalems and pears to a large serving dish using a slotted spoon, then gently toss through the nuts and lemon zest. Finely slice the remaining fresh pears and toss with the rest of the salad. To serve, top with dollops of the goat’s cheese, drizzling over any remaining roasting juices.
