Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Pears (ripe but firm)
- 1000 ml Water
- 60 ml Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Plain Greek yogurt
- 150 g Fresh raspberries
- 80 g Granola
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 6 leaves Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each pear to help them stand upright if desired.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
Place the pears into the liquid and poach for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The pears should be tender but not mushy. Use a knife to check for doneness.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the pears from the poaching liquid and let them cool to room temperature. Optionally, store in the refrigerator to chill for later use.
To assemble, place each pear on a serving plate or bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt over each pear.
Scatter fresh raspberries around the base of each pear, then sprinkle with granola to add a crunchy texture.
Garnish with mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
