Peppered Poached Pears with Dark Chocolate Glaze

Peppered Poached Pears with Dark Chocolate Glaze

Servings: 4

Ingredients

POACHED PEARS:
4 ripe pears, peeled but with stalks left intact
1 NOMU Cook’s Collection whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
4 cardamom pods, bruised
½ tsp NOMU Vanilla Paste
3 tbsp sugar
2 cups water

CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
200g NOMU Decadent Hot Chocolate pieces
70ml cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
NOMU Rainbow Pepper, to garnish

Directions

Place the pears, spices, Vanilla Paste, sugar and water in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the pears are cooked through and can be easily pierced with a knife.

Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting the NOMU Decadent Hot Chocolate pieces and cream together in a double boiler over gently simmering water. Once the chocolate has melted, remove the bowl from the heat, add the butter and stir gently until you have a silky consistency.

Serve the pears with a grinding of Rainbow Pepper, a generous drizzle of chocolate glaze and a spoonful or two of the poaching liquid.
