Pear-FECTLY POACHED
In a pot, combine one half of the Pear, the wine, the tea bag, the spice blend, 10ml of sweetener, and 150ml of water. Place over medium heat and cover. Simmer until the pear is tender and the liquid is slightly reduced, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pot, reserving the poaching liquid, and slice the pear to resemble a fan.
IT’S A GO FOR GNOCCHI
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain.
AND NOW FOR THE Almonds
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN GNOCCHI
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the cooked gnocchi in a single layer until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CHARRED Corn
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
LAYERS OF FLAVOUR
In a bowl, loosen the mustard cream with the poaching liquid in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Add the biltong, the rinsed green leaves, the drained sun-dried tomatoes, the cooked gnocchi, the charred Corn, and seasoning.

Plate up the biltong and gnocchi salad. Sprinkle over the cheese ribbons, top with the fanned Pear, and scatter over the toasted nuts. Enjoy, Chef!
