Sezamo
Un desert tradițional românesc de toamnă, plin de nostalgie și savoare. Perele parfumate sunt rumenite în unt, apoi fierte încet într-un sos mătăsos de zahăr ars, scorțișoară și vanilie, până devin fragede și aurii.
Preparation method
Preparing the fruit
Wash the pears thoroughly, peel them, and cut them into quarters or thick slices about 2 cm thick. Remove the core and seeds.
Immediately drizzle the pear slices with freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent oxidation and keep their bright color.
Browning the pears and preparing the caramel
In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pear slices and gently brown them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they take on a delicate golden shade. Transfer the pears with a slotted spoon onto a warm plate.
Chef's tip
Choose a firm variety of pears (such as Williams or Conference) that hold their shape while cooking and do not break down in the sauce.
If you want an extra touch of crunch, you can sprinkle lightly toasted walnut kernels on top before serving.
