INSTRUCTIONS
PRALINE
DRESSING
SALAD
To make the praline:
In a bowl stir together pecans, salt, and cayenne. In a dry, small
heavy skillet or saucepan cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring
with a fork, until melted. Cook, without stirring or swirling the
skillet or pan, until a golden caramel. Add pecan mixture and stir to
coat nuts with caramel. Spoon praline onto a sheet of foil and cool.
Transfer praline to a cutting board and chop fine.
To make the dressing:
In a bowl whisk together mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper to
taste. Slowly whisk in the oil in a stream.
To make the salad:
In a large bowl, toss arugula, goat cheese, cranberries, praline and
enough of the dressing to just coat the leaves.

Spencer Christian's Wine Selection:For the vegetarian recipes, I
recommend a relatively light red wine, but one that has enough
spiciness to stand up to ginger, pumpkin seeds or goat cheese. Any
decent pinot noir in the $18-$30 range would be fine. Two
particularly good choices: one made by a vineyard called Jed Steele
and the other by Fess Parker Vineyards in Santa Barbara County, Calif.
