MARSALA HONEY PEARS WITH GORGONZOLA RECIPE - (3.5/5)



Marsala Honey Pears with Gorgonzola Recipe - (3.5/5) image

Provided by Janice S

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (Not Extra Virgin)
2 Pears, Unpeeled and Uncored (uncored says Nigella - I say core those pears)!
3 Tablespoons Marsala
2 Tablespoons Honey
50 g Walnut Halves
500 g Gorgonzola

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cut the pears into eighths, leaving the skin and core on. Fry the pears for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until softened. Meanwhile, whisk the Marsala and honey together in a cup or small bowl. Add the Marsala mixture to the pears and allow to bubble and become syrupy. Transfer the pears to a large serving plate, reserving the syrupy mixture in the pan. Add the walnuts to the same pan and stir fry them for about a minute, or until they are slightly darkened and sticky all over. To serve, transfer the walnuts to the serving plate along with any remaining pan juices and place the gorgonzola onto the plate.

Chicken topped with melting Gorgonzola is quick enough for weeknight cooking but also elegant enough for a dinner party. We live near the Faribault, MN, caves that are used to age the lovely AmaBlu Gorgonzola cheese, so this is a favorite for us. -Jill Anderson, Sleepy Eye, Minnesota

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ripe pears, such as Bartlett or Anjou, cut into spears
6-ounce wedge Gorgonzola Dolce
1/2 cup toasted walnut halves
Honey, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Arrange pears, cheese, walnuts, and a small bowl of honey on a serving board. To serve, smear spears of pear with cheese, walnut, and a drizzle of honey.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, but firm pears. Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy, while underripe pears will be too hard and tart.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala will give the dish a more complex flavor than a sweet Marsala.
  • Don't overcook the pears. They should be tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the pears warm or at room temperature. They can be served as a side dish or dessert.

Conclusion:

Marsala honey pears with gorgonzola is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pears are sweet and tender, the Marsala wine adds a rich and complex flavor, and the gorgonzola cheese provides a salty and tangy contrast. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
