The Green Kitchen

Ingredients

• 4 ripe pears
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup red wine
• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• 1 cup pitted dates
• 1/2 cup pitted prunes
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 pinch of Himalayan pink salt
• 1 drop of nutmeg essential oil
• 1 teaspoon of nutmeg powder
• 2 tsp organic flaxseed oil

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 C.
2. Remove cores from pears (a corer or use a sharp knife)
3. In a bowl combine the dates, prunes, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg oil, pecans, salt, red wine and boiling water - mix until you get a sticky syrupy mixture which smells amazing :)
4. Using a teaspoon, stuff the pears with the sticky mixture, any excess mixture pour on top of the pears ready to roast (on baking paper, for easy clean)
5. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until perfectly tender but not mushy
6. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan juices
7. Serve each pear with a dollop of yoghurt or coconut yoghurt (we used sheep's yoghurt)
8. We sweetened our sheep's yoghurt with a little maple syrup :)
