Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup hazelnuts
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 large, firm pears, peeled, halved and cored
1/3 cup honey
4-ounce wedge of Stilton cheese, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Place the nuts between 2 kitchen towels and rub to remove as much skin as possible. Coarsely chop the nuts and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-size cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pears and cook until caramelized on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the honey to the skillet. When the honey melts, turn the pears to coat them on both sides. Cover and cook until the pears are tender but not too soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut each pear half across into 1/4-inch-thick slices, but keep the shape intact. Place each pear half onto 1 plate and fan it forward. Place a piece of Stilton beside the pears and scatter each plate with some of the hazelnuts. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears: They should yield slightly when pressed gently, but not be too soft. Bartlett, Anjou, Bosc, and Comice pears are all good choices.
  • Use fresh chestnuts: They should be plump and shiny, with no signs of mold or blemishes. If you can't find fresh chestnuts, you can use frozen or canned chestnuts.
  • Roast the chestnuts before using: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • Use a good quality honey: Chestnut honey is ideal, but you can also use other types of honey, such as wildflower honey or clover honey.
  • Serve the pears warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Roasted pears with chestnut honey is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pears are tender and juicy, with a slightly caramelized flavor. The chestnut honey adds a rich, nutty flavor that complements the pears perfectly. This dessert is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and satisfying treat.
