Ingredients
- 2 pears
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 medium-sized Romanesco cauliflower or regular
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 shallot
- 1 glass white wine optional
- 450 ml or 1/2 qt vegetable broth
- 50 grams or 1.8 oz Parmesan (or any other hard cheese for vegetarians)
- 70 grams or 2.5 oz blue cheese
- a handful walnuts
- salt
- black pepper
- parsley to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180° C or 350° F. Cut each pear into 8 wedges and remove the seeds. Place the wedges on a backing dish covered with parchment paper in a single layer. Coat them in honey from all sides. If your honey is no liquid enough, microwave it for 20 seconds. Put the pears in the oven for 20 minutes. 5 minutes before the end, add walnuts to the backing dish or microwave them for 30 seconds to release the flavor.
- Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into florets. Pulse them in a food processor until they resemble small grains of rice. Set a pot with the vegetable broth on medium-low heat.
- Finely chop garlic cloves and a shallot. Set a skillet with a lug of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté for about 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the cauliflower rice and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add white wine (if using, if not - use a bit more vegetable stock). Let the wine evaporate and add the broth. Cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally, for around 15-20 minutes until soft but not mushy.
- Dice the blue cheese, grate Parmesan and roughly chop the toasted walnuts. Add to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with honey-glazed pears and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
