DELICIOUS "HONEY POACHED PEAR" RECIPE.

                           

  

                                 Poached Pear is a very delicious dessert, and you could make it for your family, as a dinner dessert or as a lunch dessert. Its simple to make and tasty to eat. A dessert made of fruit is even healthier. We could have Poached Pear with "Creamy-Whipped cream", with "Whitey-Vanilla Ice cream", with "Chocolate sauce" or with "Strawberry sauce".  

                Here i have given you the recipe for making a HONEY POACHED PEAR.So,first lets note the ingredients and then follow the procedure.

*INGREDIENTS*

POACHING PEAR:

• Good shaped Pear 
• Water  (4 cups)
• Honey  (1/3 cup)
• Granular sugar  (1/3 cup)
• Ginger  (4 inch piece)
• Cloves  (5 pieces)
• 1 Star anise
• 1 Cinnamon stick broken into half.

WHIPPED CREAM:

• Heavy cream (250 ml)
• Vanilla essence (1/4 tspn)
• Powdered sugar  (2 tspn)

*PROCEDURE*

• Take a pot and add water, honey and sugar. Bring it to boil and allow the sugar and honey to dissolve in water thoroughly.

• Now add ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick and star anise to the water. Allow the water to boil.

• In the mean time take your pear and scrape out its skin. Be careful not to pluck the stock of the pear as it gives lovely presentation.

• Now using a small spoon scoop out the bottom, so that the spicy water can infuse into the pear from bottom also, and reach its inner portions. By this way your pear becomes more juicy.

      

• Slip these pears into the liquid  and bring the heat to medium - low. 

• Cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes till they can be pierced using a fork. The fork should be inserted easily into the pear without any difficulty. Don't pork too much,it may cause the pear to break, as it is hollow in the middle portion.

• Once your pear is ready, hold the stick of the pear and pull them out of the liquid, and place them on a plate allowing them to cool.

• Now pour your liquid into a wide pan and simmer it for 30 minutes, so that it could be reduced and made into a thick liquid.

• Once the Spicy honey sauce is ready, pour it over the pear and decorate them, or you could have them in a separate bowl and pour it over the pear when you serve it.

         
FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM:

• Take the 250 ml heavy cream and combine them with sugar and vanilla essence, and beat them continuously for 3 to 5 minutes.

• Timing of mechanized beater differ from hand beater.Beat this mixture till you get a stiff peak like this( in the picture) in your beater.

• Now your whipped cream is ready. Use your own imagination to decorate your delicious dessert. So just play with them. You could pipe them over the pear, or just have them in the side and use it as a dip. 

• You could even add nuts like almonds and pistachios sprinkled over the pear to give its classy presentation.

NOTE:

1. You could add red wine with water instead of honey to make "WINE POACHED PEAR". If you like the taste of the wine, then you could try one.

2. If you do not want you pear in one piece, then cut them into half and but them into water to boil. But, don't forget to scoop the bottom of the pear.

CRISPY FRIED WONTON RECIPE..

           

                      A Crispy Wonton makes the best snack in evening or even a good starter during lunch. Wonton is a Chinese dish made using Flour, Egg, Water and Salt to taste. Making the dough for the wanton is easy as it requires very few ingredients. The main skill lies in the Kneading process.

                      I will explain to you the step by step process in making the Wonton, but first let me tell you the quantity of  ingredients required.

*INGREDIENTS REQUIRED*

FOR THE WONTON DOUGH:

• Maida or all purpose flour ( 2 cups)
• 1 Egg  
• Water (1/2 cup)
• Salt      

FOR THE FILLING: (VEG)

• Shredded Cabbage (1/2 cup)
• Shredded Carrot (1/2 cup)
• Shredded Beetroot (1/2 cup)
• Chopped coriander leaves (1/4 cup)

The vegetables for the filling is entirely your choice and you could leave out or add some of the vegetable of your choice. But I experienced the filling with green Peas, and it turned out bad. So just leave out Peas in your list.If you want a protein filling then,

FILLING (NON- VEG):

• Shredded chicken, which is already pressure cooked about 1+1/2 cup.
• Kofta mutton or shredded mutton, already pressure cooked about 1+1/2 cup.

Use either chicken or Mutton filling. Both tastes good. You could even try with prawns if you are a prawn lover. 

*PREPARATION PROCESS*

FOR THE WONTON WRAPPERS:

                                         Take a bowl and add the egg, water and salt with the flour and mix well. Knead them together till all the ingredients comes together. Knead them for over five minutes till the dough becomes soft and non-sticky. Then place the dough in a flat surface like a table, apply some dry flour over them and knead the dough further for 2 minutes.  

Now leave it aside for 1 hour and start preparing the filling. After chopping all the vegetables or after preparing the protein filling, season them with Salt.

After 1 hour, take the Wonton dough and make them into small balls. Roll these balls flat into small thickness. Now cut them to perfect squares, or if you have a square impression then use it to cut them into small square pieces of sizes in the below figure.

Now apply some dry flour above them by sprinkling over the cut pieces.Take your filling in a tiny spoon and fill it in the center of the wrapper. Now you could use water or the beaten egg as a glue to stick the sides of the wonton wrapper. 

NOTE:

           Never put too much filling inside the wrappers as it will be difficult to wrap them and even you will end up with the filling coming out of the wrappers and spread throughout the oil

Now your Wontons are ready to take a dip in the oil. Heat 500 to 600 ml oil in pan and when the oil is hot drop in your Wontons and wait till they become "GOLDEN BROWN". That's it, Your CRISPY FRIED WONTONS are ready.

You could use the "SWEET & SOUR SAUSE" or "TOMATO SAUCE" as the dip.

(Try them and please leave your comments on your result. Sure its going to be a lip-smacking snack in your home.)
