GRILLED PEARS

Grilled Pears! Oh these are yummy! Try them as is or with some whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, a la mode the possibilities are endless! Add whatever special touch you like! I have tried these as they are with a garnish of fresh chopped mint and that was excellent too! Grill them on on the top rack while you are making the main dish in the bottom or add them to the grill after removing the main dish and cook while you are eating.

Grilled Pears With Gorgonzola, Walnuts & Vinaigrette Salad image

An easier version of a Cuisinart recipe. I believe this recipe is as good as the quality of your vinaigrette.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup vinaigrette, good quality
2 bosc pears
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup gorgonzola (or good quality bleu)
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups baby arugula, escarole or 4 cups endive

Steps:

  • Clean and oil your grill grate. Turn on and heat to medium high heat.
  • Cut pears in half and scoop out the cores. Slice a piece off the skin side so it will lay flat without rolling. Brush with a light oil (see Recipe #369334). Place pears cut-side down on the grill. Cover and cook until heated through and nice grill marks appear, about 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, toast walnuts in small pan over medium heat on stovetop until toasted, about 5 minutes. Pour walnuts in small bowl and while still warm add gargonzola and mix so cheese melts. Add honey. Stir lightly to incorporate.
  • Toss arugula or other greens very lightly with vinaigrette. Divide onto four plates.
  • When pears are nicely grilled on cut side turn over and divide gorgonzola mixture among pears. Grill for a couple minutes more. Remove pears and place ½ pear on each of the four plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve warm.
