Hot Pork and Pear Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless pork chops, cut into strips

  • 2 pears (firm and ripe)

  • 1 Tbs butter

  • 1 Tbs vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar

  • 2 Tbs sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup raisins

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

  • 6 cups mixed salad greens

When pears are in season, think of this as a satisfying main dish salad. When it's not pear season, substitute canned pears.

Directions

  • Pare and core pears; cut into 12 slices. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet; gently sauté pears until they are tender but still hold their shape. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add oil to pan and stir-fry pork until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove pork from pan; add vinegar, sugar and salt to pan juices; cook and stir until sugar dissolves. Return pork and pears to pan with raisins, stir gently to heat through.
  • Put salad greens in a large salad bowl; spoon over pork mixture, toss. Garnish with walnuts.
