Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup ground walnuts
4 tablespoons Roquefort cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 ripe but firm Bartlett pears
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the walnuts, cheese and lemon juice in a bowl, mashing the ingredients together to make a paste.
  • Peel, halve and core the pears. Stuff the cavity of each pear half with a spoonful of the Roquefort mixture, mounding it up slightly. Place the stuffed pears in a shallow baking dish and pour the wine around them.
  • Bake about 30 minutes, until the pears are tender. Allow to cool about 20 minutes before serving.
