Grilled Pears with Marscapone and Spiced Honey

Recipe by Brent Draper

Serves – 4
Prep Time – 10 mins
Cook Time – 15 mins

Ingredients

3 ripe Coles pears, cored and sliced
1 cup Coles mascarpone
1 cup Jalna Farm to Pot Greek Yoghurt
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
2 tbs Coles honey
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Fresh herbs, to garnish (e.g., mint or basil)

Method

In a medium pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of honey with the ground cardamom and ground cinnamon, stirring until the honey is warm and the spices are fragrant, which takes about 1-2 minutes.

Add the sliced pears to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the honey and spices. Allow the pears to sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelised. Remove from heat and let the pears cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone, Jalna Farm to Pot Greek Yoghurt, and the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean, mixing until smooth and creamy. Divide the mascarpone-yoghurt mixture among serving bowls, topping each with the warm, spiced pears. Drizzle with the remaining honey and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
