Ingredients
- Honey pears:
- 4 medium firm pears
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 vanilla pod
- ½ medium lemon
- 4 cardamom pods
- Yogurt:
- 1 ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel and core the pears. Slice each half into 4 or 5 wedges. Place them in a roasting tin in a single layer.
- Spice the pears: Whisk together the honey and the water until the honey dissolves. Halve the vanilla pod and save one half for the yogurt. Scrape the seeds of the other half and stir them into the honey-water mixture. Add the lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the pears and stir well to coat the pears. Press the cardamom seeds with a knife to open them and place them in the tin as well.
- Scrape the seeds of the second vanilla pod half, place them in the bowl where you will later mix them with the yogurt. Place the empty pod halves into the roasting tray as well.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pears are softer but still retaining their shape and a bit of a bite. They should NOT be mushy. Start checking after 15 or 20 minutes and take them out of the oven as soon as they are to your liking. Baste with the pan juices at least twice during the baking time.
- Let cool down for a while. Then, you can serve them warm or at room temperature.
- Yogurt: Meanwhile, stir the Greek yogurt with the seeds of the other half of the vanilla bean and the remaining honey.
- Serve: Place the yogurt into 4 dessert cups and top with the pears and some remaining pan juices.
