Serves 8

​

Ingredients

​

• 4 almost-ripe pears

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• 1-2 tablespoons maple syr

 

Directions

​

• Preheat oven to 400°F. 

• Cut pears in half, then using a teaspoon, core out the seeds. 

• Melt butter in a cast iron pan. Place the pears cut-side down into the hot pan, and sear them for a few minutes until nicely golden.

• Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip the pears over.

• Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the pears, and return the pan to the oven with the pears cut-side up. Roast for another 5 minutes.

• Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle maple syrup over each pear.

• Serve with a little bit of plain yogurt.
