Bacon-wrapped pears on leaf salad – a great starter

Wash and spin the lettuce, then divide it between plates. Trim the spring onions, slice them into rings, and scatter them over the salad. Wash the pear, cut them into eighths, and remove the cores. Wrap each pear eighth with a slice of bacon. Heat the butter in a pan and fry the pears until golden brown on each side. Remove the pears and set aside briefly. Add the stock, vinegar, and mustard to the pan’s pan juices and mix well. Season to taste with salt and sugar. If the dressing is too thin, stir in a little oil. If you like, add a splash of white wine to the dressing in the pan. Spread the dressing evenly over the salad, top each with two bacon-wrapped pears, and grind black pepper over the top. Serve immediately. A great start to a colder-season meal. Or as a main meal for two.
