Bitter Lettuce Salad With Cheese & Walnut Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tbsp sugar
100 g walnuts
200 g cream cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped finely
3 tbsp light balsamic vinegar
2-3 tsp wine jelly
1 tsp mustard
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 tbsp walnut oil
1/4 bed cress, chopped
4 stalks chervil, chopped
100 g frisee lettuce, chopped
100 g rocket, chopped
100 g radicchio, chopped

Preparation

Bring the sugar to a boil with a little water in a saucepan and stir until it starts to caramelize. Stir in the walnuts and caramelize until they're golden brown. Cool the walnuts on a shallow dish lined with parchment or wax paper.
Mix the cream cheese with the paprika and season to taste. Form the mixture into 8 egg-shaped balls, cover and chill.
For the dressing: puree the jelly, mustard, vinegar and garlic and stir in the oil. Season to taste and stir in the chervil.
Put the walnuts in a plastic bag and finely crush them with a rolling pin. Pour them out onto a shallow dish and roll the cream cheese balls in the nuts until they're covered. Toss the lettuce with the dressing and serve on 4 plates.
