Rum and Raisin Pecan Loaf - Recipe by Benjamina Ebuehi
Rum and raisin as a pairing has a bit of an old-school feel to it but it’s a faithful classic. If...
6 slices of sliced brioche bread, cut into cubes
4 little gem lettuces, cut into quarters
6 ripe peaches, stoned and cut into wedges
2 buffalo mozzarella balls, torn into small chunks
1/3 tsp thyme leaves, to serve
Handful of basil leaves, to serve
Dressing:
4 Tbs+ 2 tsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
3/4 Tbs capers in brine, drained and finely chopped
1 Tbs + 2 tsp pure maple syrup (preferably golden colour for its delicate taste)
Make the dressing by whisking the olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup and capers together.
Heat oven to 190 C. Scatter the brioche cubes over a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Arrange the lettuce in a serving bowl and top with the peaches and torn mozzarella and season well.
Drizzle over the dressing, then scatter over the thyme, basil and croutons.
