directions
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the butter is melted and sizzling, add the turmeric, let sizzle for 5-10 seconds, (turmeric should darken), then add the honey.
- Add the pear slices in a single layer, season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and cook turning once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pears to a plate.
- Make the vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, honey, and salt. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Toss the mache with some of the vinaigrette and the goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the pears, pine nuts, and goji berries.
