Preparation
In a medium-size saucepan, combine the peppers and salt with the maple
syrup. Over medium heat, simmer for 5 minutes. Add and thoroughly coat the nuts. Transfer the
nuts to a wire rack, allowing them to dry individually and drain slightly.
In another medium-size saucepan, put the pears, cloves, peppercorns,
brown sugar and port. Over medium heat, poach the pears until tender, but not mushy. Remove
the pears and set aside at room temperature.
Wash and dry frisée. Make dressing with remaining five
ingredients. Toss salad. Arrange walnuts and pears on the greens.
