Ingredients
- 4 whole Pears (ripe but firm)
- 1000 ml Water
- 60 ml Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Plain Greek yogurt
- 150 g Fresh raspberries
- 80 g Granola
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 6 leaves Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each pear to help them stand upright if desired.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine water, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
Step 3
Place the pears into the liquid and poach for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The pears should be tender but not mushy. Use a knife to check for doneness.
Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the pears from the poaching liquid and let them cool to room temperature. Optionally, store in the refrigerator to chill for later use.
Step 5
To assemble, place each pear on a serving plate or bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt over each pear.
Step 6
Scatter fresh raspberries around the base of each pear, then sprinkle with granola to add a crunchy texture.
Step 7
Garnish with mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
