Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium Bosc pears, peeled with stems intact
1 cup white wine
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
½ vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
2 whole star anise pods
1 small cinnamon stick
1 lemon, zested
1 orange, zested
¼ cup walnut oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim flat the bottoms of pears, and stand them upright in the bottom of a large stock pot. Pour the wine and water into the pot, and turn the flame to high heat. Sprinkle with sugar, and add vanilla bean, star anise, cinnamon stick, and lemon and orange peels. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pot from stove, and let cool completely. Reserve 1/4 cup poaching liquid. Transfer pears to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  • Place 2 poached pears in a blender or food processor, and puree. Remove to a large bowl. Whisk in walnut oil, red wine vinegar, and reserved poaching liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate.
  • Place pears in individual bowls, and top with sauce.

This was the worst recipe I've ever tried. The pears were mushy and the vinaigrette was bland.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up just throwing everything in a pot and hoping for the best.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pears didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked.

The pears were a little too tart for my taste, but the vinaigrette was delicious.

This recipe is a keeper! I've already made it twice and it's been a hit both times.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The pears are sweet and juicy, the vinaigrette is tangy and flavorful, and the nuts add a nice crunch.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pears are always perfectly poached and the vinaigrette is so flavorful.

So easy and delicious! I used a red wine vinegar and it gave the pears a beautiful color.

These pears were a hit! The wine vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the sweetness of the pears. I will definitely be making this again.
