Baked Baby Pears With Blue Cheese and Honey
Every bit promised hither I am with my first Quarantine Cooking Recipe. Craven with Wilted Infant Greens, Sauteed Pears & Blue Cheese.
I have given quantities for one serving. In that location may just be 1 of you lot isolating, but if there is more than one person you tin very easily multiply this unproblematic dish to serve more!
I just accept salt and pepper here in the hotel with me, then at that place is not a lot of pick when it comes to seasoning. You actually don't need much more. Yous could certainly add your favourite herbs or seasonings to the craven if you lot wish.
You just need to think about what will get with the flavours of blue cheese (or whatsoever dressing you decide to use), chicken and pears! Rosemary would be fantabulous! As would any of the soft herbs.
I would think as well that hot sauce would be a great addition, or cayenne pepper. This is so uncomplicated and quick to brand. You will exist surprised. Cooking quarantine style need never exist wearisome!
I honey cooking like this. I call it cooking by the seat of my pants. Ane of my favourite shows when I moved over to the UK was a show called Set Stead Cook.
In this show the celebrity chefs, usually two, would exist given a bag of mystery ingredients to a certain value at the showtime of the show by the contestants. At that place were two contestants.
The Chef'south would then be challenged to create something tasty with the ingredients in the bag, or equally much tasty equally they could, and in less than one-half an hr.
They would each usually melt two or three dishes while the clock ran down. Once done the audiance would vote on which chef has risen to the task better than the other and the contestant would win a prize.
Quarantine cookery is quite like that. You take a fridge with a very few ingredients in it and your challenge is to create something delicious from them.
Today I had craven breast. Ripe anjou pears. A box of baby greens. A jar of blueish cheese salad dressing. Common salt and pepper. Oh, and some Becel butter spread.
Craven breasts are a fabled canvas for a multitude of flavours. You could certainly use boneless skinless craven thighs all the same if you wanted to.
They were well seasoned and then browned in the becel until gold brown on both sides. I observe that it but takes about 9 minutes per side. The juices should run clear and not pink when pierced.
When the chicken is nearly done you will want to add the pears to the pan. I did non carp to pare them.I but removed the centre, and trimmed off the stem end and base. I and then cutting the pear into largish wedges.
I only browned them briefly in the pan juices on each side until golden. You want them to maintain some of their crispness, and so don't overdo it. Its funny how cooking fruit helps to raise their natural sugariness. And then good!
In one case the chicken and pears were done it was a simple matter to saute/wilt the greens. Y'all could apply a mix as I have, or even spinach on its own or rocket, or baby beet greens. Escarole. Arugula. Kale.
Whatsoever or all. Greens cook actually quickly. Just toss them in the pan and simply continue turning them over and over until yous become them equally wilted as you want. They will soak up all the chicken and pear juices giving them some nice flavours also.
Nosotros swallow beginning with our eyes, and then presentation is everything. I thought this looked really overnice. I set the golden brown craven on top of the greens.
Don't overcook your craven. This was done perfectly so that it was aureate dark-brown on the outside, merely nevertheless tender and juicy in the centre.
I flanked the chicken with the sauteed pears. They were beautifully golden dark-brown. Sugariness and juicy. I remember a sprinkle of cayenned would be wonderful on them.
Sweetness and spicy. Yummy!
My final addition was a drizzle of that lush rich blue cheese dressing. I happen to really beloved blue cheese. Information technology wasn't ever so.
When I was younger I idea cheese had to be bright orange and come in a cardboard box! 😂😂 Yes, plastic cheese. My mother could never get me to try annihilation else except for the Parmesan that came in the green plastic container. 'Nuff said.
Only await at how juicy that chicken is. It is so tender, and despite only being seasoned with salt and pepper, browning it well in the pan helped to caramelise the juices and give it a lush flavour.
And those pears . . . perfect!!!
Altogether this was perfectly succulent. Moist and tasty chicken. Sweet crisp pears. Wilted greens with just a touch of bitterness. Rich creamy dressing.
What more could a body want? I served information technology with some boiled new potatoes, and a mix of cauliflower, broccoli and carrot. Win/win!!
