Foodie Friday! Perry Roasted Pears and Cider Poached Apples

Perry Roasted Pears and Cider Poached Apples

 

Preparation and Cooking Time:  1 hr
Serves:  4

 

Ingredients

  • 4 semi-ripe Williams pears
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Perry, we recommend ‘The Berg‘ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 1/2 cup Eau De Vie de Poire Williams by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 1/2 cup Cider, we recommend ‘Appleanche‘ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 1 large Fuji apple, cored and sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • Cinnamon, for dusting
  • Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Quarter and core the pears; dust generously with confectioners’ sugar.  In a large, ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter.  Add the pears, cut sides down, and cook over high heat until richly browned, 10 minutes.
  2. Turn the pears skin sides down.  Pour in the Perry.  Roast the pears in the oven until the pears are tender and the Perry has reduced to a syrup, about 18 minutes. Transfer the pears to a platter.
  3. Meanwhile, add the Eau De Vie de Poire Williams to the skillet and boil for about 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.  Add the cider and bring to a boil.  Add the apple slices, cover and simmer over low heat, turning once, until the apple slices are translucent, about 5 minutes.  Uncover and simmer until the cider has reduced to a syrup. Spoon the apples into shallow bowls and top them with the pear wedges.  Dust with cinnamon and serve with whipped cream.

Foodie Friday! Barramundi with Sweet Carrots and Cider Glaze

Barramundi with Sweet Carrots and Cider Glaze

 

Preparation and Cooking Time:  40mins
Serves:  4

 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cider, we recommend ‘Appleanche’ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 700g carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal 1/8 inch thick
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Four 170g Barramundi fillets

 

Instructions

  1. In a nonreactive saucepan, boil the cider and cider vinegar over high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, 15 minutes.  Remove from the heat and stir in the butter.
  2. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil.  Spread the carrots in an even layer and add the garlic and rosemary.  Cook over moderately high heat, without stirring, for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring, until the carrots are just tender and richly caramelized, 5 minutes longer.  Discard the garlic and rosemary.  Season the carrots with salt and pepper.  Stir in the parsley and half of the cider glaze.
  3. In a nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil.  Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the skillet.  Cook over moderately high heat until the fillets are lightly browned, 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the fish is just white throughout, 2 minutes longer.
  4. Transfer the caramelized carrots to plates and set the fish on top.  Drizzle with the remaining cider glaze and serve.
