BAKED FRESH PEARS

A recipe that is simply done, and cobines different ingredients to an excellent result. Found in "French Cooking in the New World" I use Moselle Valley Reisling; likewise its important that you use pure maple syrup, as corn syrup doesn't get it done!

Categories     Cheese     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Parmesan     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 as an hors d'oeuvre or cheese course

Number Of Ingredients 3

a 1/2-pound piece Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar* (preferably aceto balsamico tradizionale extra vecchio
*available at some specialty foods shops and by mail order from Dean & DeLuca, tel. (800) 999-0306, ext. 269

Steps:

  • With a small knife break parmigiano-reggiano into bite-size chunks and transfer to a plate. Drizzle cheese evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar and let stand 15 minutes. Drizzle cheese with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears for this recipe. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A thick, aged balsamic vinegar will have a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
  • To make the balsamic vinegar reduction, simmer the vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it has reduced by half. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the pears immediately after they are drizzled with the balsamic vinegar reduction. The cheese will melt slightly and the pears will be warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Fresh pears with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and balsamic vinegar is a simple but elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pears are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the cheese and balsamic vinegar add a touch of richness and acidity. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
