Silverbeet, Apple Salad with Truffled Honey Pecans
We are off to southern Western Australia, more specifically to Pemberton again for our 2021 cooking events and this time our menu is focused on the wonderful truffles that are grown in the region. How lucky are we?
I love all truffles, (yes the chocolate kind and the dug up from beneath a tree kind!) and this is the least truffled recipe amongst the lot on our menu and in fact does not suffer without the truffled honey. You could use our other amazing recipe for Chilli Infused Honey Drizzle in place of the Truffled Honey.
The candied pecans are the bomb, I could (and may have) eaten a lot of those on their own. You could make this with kale, but the silverbeet is more digestible and stays looking better longer. I hope you love it as much as we did.
