Does anyone have last months Taste magazine please

Have thrown mine out by mistake and made a great spicy pear and blue cheese salad with polenta crutons and pecan nuts. It has the purple cover and have tried to buy another copy but no luck. I would so appreciate it if someone could post the recipe for me. Also tried to look it up on the website recipe finder but came up with hundreds of recipe options!

Lol, I thought it might be better with the actual recipe title, but stuff that.
do you need tonight or would you mind later tonight or tomorrow!
Page 79 July issue, if anyone is able to type it out, more than happy to later but going out now.

No rush for it just really appreciate you or someone else to print out as it was delicious! Huge thanks!

will do just my eyesight's not the best and in daylight will be better with the background they use. Tried seeing if it would come up losing the polenta part, and came up with a fail. So not sure it's on their site. (I have got glasses at work, but have lost the ones for home lol, oh to be old before I should be hehehe)

Yes I tried to look it up with the polenta and did not work. Just when you can as really am very grateful. I totally can relate to the glasses thing as and am one of those that has to hold things out way ahead of me if no glasses handy!Thank you!

Here you are fendi3.

"SPICED PEAR & PECAN SALAD WITH POLENTA CROUTONS
For the best results, use slightly under-ripe pears so they retain their shape when frying them in the spiced honey glaze.This substantial salad is a fabulous combination or colour, flavour and texture.

25g butter
2 slightly under-ripe pears, peeled, each cut into 8 wedges and cored
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp clear honey
1509 rocket leaves
100g watercress
½ cup pecans, toasted
85g mild blue-veined cheese, cut into bite-sized pieces

DRESSING:
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard

POLENTA CROUTONS:
½ cup instant polenta
20g butter
1 large pinch dried chilli flakes
2 tbsp olive oil+extra for greasing

1 First make the polenta croutons….Put1¼ cups water in a saucepan and sprinkle in the polenta, bring to the boil, stirring frequently.Reduce heat to low and simmer for 6-8 minutes until thickened.Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and chilli and season with salt and pepper.
Lightly grease a medium baking tin with olive oil and spread out the polenta to about 1cm thick.Smooth the top and chill until set, then cut the polenta into 1cm cubes.
2 Heat half of the olive oil over a medium-high heat in a large, non-stick frying pan.Fry half the polenta croutons for 12-15 minutes, turning regularly, until crisp all over, then drain on kitchen paper.Repeat with the remaining oil and croutons, then set aside.
3 Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and melt butter over a medium-Iow heat, then fry pears for 3-5 minutes, turning once.Add the ginger and honey, turn pears to coat in the mixture and cook for 1 minute until golden.
4 Combine all the dressing ingredients and season to taste.
Divide rocket and watercress between 4 plates and drizzle with the dressing.Sprinkle the pecans over the leaves and top with pears, cheese and polenta croutons, then serve.
Serves 4.":-))

Awwww Sam you're a darling, I hate typing on the iPad and then saw the instructions were marginal for me to read tonight, I have got the magazine open for me to type up tomorrow ;)

My pleasure unknowndisorder, and I have to agree re the instructions in that recipe - the background used on that page sure didn't make it easy to read.:-))

and an oops - 1509 rocket leaves should read 150g rocket leaves - imagine having to count all that many leaves, so much easier to weigh them!My apologies for that error.:-))
