Caramelized Asian Pears
- 1 large Asian pear, washed but not peeled
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-2 tablespoons coriander sugar
- Slice the Asian pear into thin rounds and slivers- about 1/8" thick- working around the core.
- In a 10" skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When it's bubbling, sprinkle the sugar over it and then layer in your pear rounds and slices; they can touch or slightly overlap but make sure they have room to really caramelize and cook.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, flipping occasionally, until the pears are fragrant, cooked through but still a tad firm, and have taken on a golden brown hue.
- In the photo above, you'll see that I served these with some homemade spiced apple butter as a side dish. They're also quite nice on pan-roasted or grilled salmon; in that instance, place them atop the salmon before cooking or midway through so that they adhere slightly to and share their fruity, sugary goodness with the fish.
