Heya guys,
So two days ago I made a traditional Dutch side dish. We often eat it on the side with Christmas dinner for example, but i like it all year round.
So it's made of a Dutch variety of pear that is made to stew. Those pears are a lot harder (kinda like they aren't ripe yet), so they don't fall into small bits when you stew them. So we had some of those pears left from the holidays, and I decided to make some stewed pears of my own based on how mom always made them.. aka with LOTS of red wine (NO water), cinnamon and sugar ^^
And then I just left it to simmer for four hours. Most people do that a lot less long, but from my experience this is the only way to let them really take up that wine, you can taste the difference.
They taste great, even if I say so myself
Oh and they can be a lot prettier when you just peel them, but leave the pears whole otherwise, but I always feel like the taste suffers from it with the wine not reaching the inside. Think something like this:
