4 people 40 minutes 15 minutes

Ingredients

200 g Blue Cheese crumbled
3 cloves Garlic finely chopped
3 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Olive Oil for drizzling
1 - Onion finely chopped
4 - Parsnips cut lengthwise into wedges
3 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Sage chopped, plus extra to granish
1 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Thyme chopped
100 g SuperValu Pancetta
4 - SuperValu Pears ripe and quartered

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.

2. Put the parsnips, onion, garlic, pancetta and herbs on a large baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables.

3. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, then add the pears and drizzle over the honey. Continue roasting for another 10 minutes, until all the veg and the pears are nicely coloured.

4. Transfer to a serving platter, then crumble over the blue cheese to soften slightly from the heat of the parsnips and pears. Garnish with a few whole sage leaves and serve immediately.
